Testo Made Me Your Enemy - Queen Butterfly
Testo della canzone Made Me Your Enemy (Queen Butterfly), tratta dall'album Before You Press Play
I tried to be a good friend
That's the part that hurts the most
I stood where I thought love stood
But love don't act like ghosts
I told the truth when it mattered
Even knowing it might sting
Cause where I come from, real women
Don't hide that kind of thing
I thought being loyal meant honest
Thought friendship meant respect
Thought if I saw somebody hurting
I was supposed to step
But y'all made me the problem
Y'all threw me out for truth
Like I was wrong for saying something
You would've wanted said to you
And I hope it hurt when you heard my name
Not cause I wanted revenge or fame
But cause somewhere deep down underneath
You know what y'all did to me
I hope the truth sits heavy at night
When all them pretty prayers turn quiet
I hope you see the damage clearly
Cause God knows I loved y'all sincerely
I tried to be a good friend
And y'all made me your enemy
You smiled like sisters in the daylight
Then cut people in the dark
Helped with one hand just to hold it
Over somebody's heart
You called it kindness when it served you
Called it love when you had control
But real love don't keep receipts
Just to make somebody feel low
And you played sweet, you played harmless
Like your hands were never stained
But you know what you did in private
You know who carried that pain
And one stood quiet with the wrong side
Chose people over what was right
I don't hate her for her loyalty
But silence still picked a side
And I hope it hurt when you heard my name
Not cause I wanted revenge or fame
But cause somewhere deep down underneath
You know what y'all did to me
I hope the truth sits heavy at night
When all them pretty prayers turn quiet
I hope you see the damage clearly
Cause God knows I loved y'all sincerely
I tried to be a good friend
And y'all made me your enemy
I held so much inside me
Cause I didn't know how to say
That the way y'all loved each other
Felt like poison dressed as grace
I watched you talk about everybody
Then hug them like you cared
Watched you laugh behind their backs
Then act holy in your prayers
And when I finally broke open
Everything came rushing out
Every hurt I kept swallowing
Every truth I choked down
Then y'all ran to someone I loved
Painted me as something bad
She believed the lies you fed her
And I lost what I still wish I had
But it wasn't only me
And that's what hurts worse now
Another good heart believed y'all
Until y'all showed her how
She thought I was the problem
Till the mask fell off one day
And I hate that she had to learn it
In a more disgusting way
Cause she was kind
She was genuine
She didn't deserve that burn
But y'all keep teaching good people
The same heartbreaking lesson to learn
This was never just my anger
This was never just my side
It was a pattern dressed in friendship
And a circle built on lies
And I hope it hurt when you heard my name
Not cause I wanted revenge or fame
But cause somewhere deep down underneath
You know what y'all did to me
I hope the truth sits heavy at night
When all them pretty prayers turn quiet
I hope you see the damage clearly
Cause God knows I loved y'all sincerely
I tried to be a good friend
I tried to keep my peace
I tried to love y'all through it
Till it almost buried me
I don't hate you
I'm just tired
Tired of carrying pain
From people who called it love
I hope you grow
I hope you change
I hope one day you understand
I didn't expose y'all to hurt you
I told the truth
Because y'all were hurting everybody else
