(Howe / Wetton / Downes)
My life was never all plain sailing
Always so extreme
I climbed the peaks or perished failing
You'd say I lived the dream
But then one day, my bubble bursting,
I should have been so proud
You need to know that was the worst thing
You turned and laughed out loud
Why did you choose to stand behind me?
Somewhere I couldn't see
Just when I couldn't feel it coming
You put a knife in me
I never needed reassurance
I always trusted you
I didn't understand your distance
You put a knife in me
You took the life from me
You put a knife in me
I'd love to know, what does it feels like?
To be a Judas friend
To be a brutal traitor, and be so
Murderous at the end
And now, what I find quite astounding
You came to shake my hand
You'll never see how much you hurt me
You couldn't understand
My life was never all plain sailing
Always so extreme
I climbed the peaks or perished failing
You'd say I lived the dream
But then one day, my bubble bursting,
I should have been so proud
You need to know that was the worst thing
You turned and laughed out loud
Why did you choose to stand behind me?
Somewhere I couldn't see
Just when I couldn't feel it coming
You put a knife in me
I never needed reassurance
I always trusted you
I didn't understand your distance
You put a knife in me
You took the life from me
You put a knife in me
I'd love to know, what does it feels like?
To be a Judas friend
To be a brutal traitor, and be so
Murderous at the end
And now, what I find quite astounding
You came to shake my hand
You'll never see how much you hurt me
You couldn't understand
