Instrumental track prod. by Andyr.

First upload in a long time. But here's the first track from my next album, Pretty Words. :)

Lyrics:
Like a knife to my back
Always kept in the dark
Never knowing the difference
Between a strike and an embrace
Keep your enemies closer
Keep your friends close
How can you tell the difference
When the enemies are those who know you most?

Ride or die, thick or thin
Love to hate, hate to love the sin
Flashbacks and memories
Take me to the place where we both started this
Wish I could turn back time
Find a way to permanently rewind
End game, you always lose
You’re gonna hurt, even if you play by the rules

Like a knife to my back
Always kept in the dark
Never knowing the difference
Between a strike and an embrace
Keep your enemies closer
Keep your friends close
How can you tell the difference
When the enemies are those who know you most?

Silly girl, haven’t you learned?
Even if you roll, it’s not your turn
Fake smiles on endless dreams
Take me to the time where we both wanted this
Wish I could see the truth
Find the moment I lost sight of you
The way they talk about someone
Says everything you need to know about how they treat you

I see everything now
Everything now that you’re gone
I see all of the pain you caused
Everyone including me

Like a knife to my back
Always kept in the dark
Never knowing the difference
Between a strike and an embrace
Keep your enemies closer
Keep your friends close
How can you tell the difference
When the enemies are those who know you most?

I see everything now
Everything now that you’re gone
I see all of the pain you caused
Everyone including me

I see everything now
(Keep your enemies closer, Keep your friends close)
Everything now that you’re gone
(How can you tell the difference
When the enemies are those who know you most?)

Keep your enemies closer
