In his eyes he's sincere But betrayal I fear Has cloaked his intentions We've been good friends for years Through laughter and tears Reasons to live elude me How could I have not seen What a fool I have been What could I have been thinking Through all the half truths Shared dreams of our youths Obviously meant nothing I've died inside And I'm asking why Why did it have to come to this? Et tu Brute?, together against the world Et tu Brute?, side by side we could conquer Et tu Brute?, red faith runs down my back Et tu Brute?, I was dead before the blade ever crossed my neck I have died inside He betrayed and he lied Words can't explain the pain With heartache and regret It's hard to forget With the knife still in my back My stare cast to the floor Just a shell, nothing more Ripped my life away Et tu Brute?, together against the world Et tu Brute?, side by side we could conquer Et tu Brute?, red faith runs down my back Et tu Brute?, I was dead before the blade ever crossed my neck
