Don't let them know your damn weakness

Don't let them know your damn weakness

There are times when your gun shoots you

Sometimes shooter is the child you grew

And he is someone you can't even sue

Don't cry in sadness, there's nothing you can do

You cared for them loved them no less

Don't let them know your damn weakness

They walked with you when you had fame

That time they helped you in every game

You thought they were true! What a shame

You called him "friend", what is his name?

They played with you like a game of chess

Don't let them know your damn weakness

Just force your hands on your mouth

If you go to north, they'll go to south

No one's here Alibi, you still have doubt?

Don't regret it later, just scream and shout

O! Where have you gone? What is your address?

Don't let them know your damn weakness
