Applause

 

That was the moment I knew I was a fool in your eyes

Dressing up as compliments your little white lies,

But I could see through you and even behind

All the little big things you've been trying to hide.

Thought I wouldn't find out what it was about

You told me you were over it, three days later you were not.

That was the moment I knew I meant nothing to you

When I believed in your potential I thought you believed it too.

I was there, front row, the only one in the crowd

Who stood up for you when all the fingers pointed at 

Every lie you told and every mask you wore.

Thought your words were sweet as honey, but they were lies, that's what they were.

Betrayers turn to betrayers, always in the same pattern

That was the moment I knew that none of it mattered.

Maybe if you thought what your words could cause

All the hatred you now get would have turned into applause.
