Traitor Lyrics

[Verse 2]
We were just like brothers
We had each other
We were down for the good times
We were there for the troubles
Like a thief in the night
Broad daylight
You stole my sanity
Now you are the enemy

[Pre-Chorus]
Are you sure you wanna play this game?
Are you sure you wanna play it?

[Chorus]
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor
A traitor
A traitor
You put the knife right in my back
Killed any history we had
And now it's war
War

[Bridge]
Oh, oh
I should feel sorry for you
Oh, oh
Watching you drown in your denial
Oh oh
But I can't feel sorry for you
Oh, oh
Watching you drown 'cause you're a traitor
[Chorus]
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor
A traitor
A traitor
You put the knife right in my back
Killed any history we had
And now it's war
War

The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor
A traitor
A traitor
You put the knife right in my back
Killed any history we had
And now it's war
War

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

As the lyrics suggest, “Traitor” is about a destroyed friendship/relationship, and, in my opinion, tells the perfect story of how George Washington probably felt about Benedict Arnold
