Lyrics

The Betrayer

Please now, just hear me out
Before you kill somebody now
Listen to what I say
Before you go and kill yourself

Somehow you've been exposed
Headquarters thinks the case is closed
You need to hit the road
They're on your trail

Again I've become someone else
Someone new
It's up to you
If I live or die too

I am a guardian
I am the only one who knows
Gonna get you to a safe house
Where nobody goes

They know your face, they know your names
That was our deal
They've put the borders on alert
So don't get hurt

Again I've become someone else
Someone new
It's up to me
If I live or die too

I did this to you, yes, I did
I had my own life to save
I did this to you, yes, I did

I did this to you, yes, I did
I had my own life to save
I did this to you, yes, I did

I did this to you, yes, I did
I had my own life to save
I did this to you, yes, I did

Again, I've become someone else
Someone new
It's up to them
Will they let me through

Running on rooftops now
The great escape
Running on rooftops now

Running on rooftops now
The great escape
Running on rooftops now

Running on rooftops now
The great escape
Running on rooftops now

Running on rooftops now
The great escape
Running on rooftops now
