MISTREATED

Nobody can expect to

bet his life, and win

The knife in your back, boy

carries your friend's fingerprint

You've got no ground under your feet, and

you can't defend yourself

Only disappointments

when you rely on someone else

exhaustion causes mental weakness

tender devotion unmasks as pure selfishness

friends betray and lovers lie

tiresome favours you can't deny

nothing really works, at all

you feel your back against the wall

Mistreated, defeated

you feel lonesome and betrayed

you've got enough, you just can't wait

Mistreated, you're bleeding

but no-one sees the wounds you've got

no-one sees your flowing blood, oh no

You have reached the point when

nothing matters at all

You think, this will be your end

you won't take anymore

You know, you've lost this time

You've maybe lost your peace of mind

But if you have got self-respect

You will risk another bet

You know, your stake is your life

so try to win, try to survive

Mistreated, defeated

you feel lonesome and betrayed

you've got enough, you just can't wait

Mistreated, you're bleeding

but no-one sees the wounds you've got

no-one sees your flowing blood, oh no

Nobody can really take you down

You only have to take your chance

don't loose your power, don't hang around

and soon... you will be back again

You've learnt your lesson very well

you hide your heart, like in a shell

no-one hurts you anymore

you don't want something, you want more

be the hunter, not the victim

an emotional prison you want to live in, oh

Mistreated, defeated

you feel lonesome and betrayed

you've got enough, you just can't wait

Mistreated, you're bleeding

but no-one sees the wounds you've got

no-one sees your flowing blood, oh no
