Laid out all my cards like there was no tomorrow
But that bitter-sweet game only gave me sorrow.
If I had stayed within the confines of my keep
Perhaps I could still enjoy a peaceful sleep.
But as selfish as you were, you wouldn’t let me be
I took the fall, but my suffering, you wouldn’t see
Who should be blamed for this predicament,
The heartless you or me who lacks sane judgment?
(I took the bait and found myself in the shallows.)
They say curiosity kills the cat, I played your game
Paid for the crime I didn’t do tarnishing my name.
(I took the blows and ended up on the gallows.)
