Et Tu Brute

In his eyes he's sincere
But betrayal I fear
Has cloaked his intentions
We've been good friends for years
Through laughter and tears
Reasons to live elude me
How could I have not seen
What a fool I have been
What could I have been thinking
Through all the half truths
Shared dreams of our youths
Obviously meant nothing
I've died inside
And I'm asking why
Why did it have to come to this?

Et tu Brute?, together against the world
Et tu Brute?, side by side we could conquer
Et tu Brute?, red faith runs down my back
Et tu Brute?, I was dead before the blade ever crossed my neck
I have died inside

He betrayed and he lied
Words can't explain the pain
With heartache and regret
It's hard to forget
With the knife still in my back
My stare cast to the floor
Just a shell, nothing more
Ripped my life away

Et tu Brute?, together against the world
Et tu Brute?, side by side we could conquer
Et tu Brute?, red faith runs down my back
Et tu Brute?, I was dead before the blade ever crossed my neck
