Traitor To Myself Lyrics by Lilith Max

[Intro]
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching

[Verse 1]
I was crowned a king, yet I play the fool
I hear the whispers and they know it too
Can't turn my back for fear of a knife
But the only betrayal is the one in my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching

[Chorus]
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
You say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself

[Verse 2]
I was set to fail, and so I do
Every mistake gets replayed on loop
I can’t decipher the truth from the trick
When I spend every second sabotaging it

[Pre-Chorus]
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching

[Chorus]
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
You say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself

[Bridge]
There’s no triumph no reward for
Pulling yourself back into the war
There’s no victor no gold crown for
Digging yourself a hole in the ground
You lose battles that haven’t begun
In your head, they’ve already won
You hold the power, but cannot choose
Your heart and fear rule over you

[Pre-Chorus]
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching
I hold a sword to my chest
Waiting for it to rip in
Sometimes the things we want
We keep ourselves from reaching

[Chorus]
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
You say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
Right through the heart, oh, right through the heart
They say to trust nobody else
I am a traitor to myself
