Traitor Lyrics by Daughtry

‎Baptized (Deluxe Version)

2013

[Intro]
I'm not a criminal
I'm not the villain
Yeah, this is personal
A drive-by killing

[Verse 1]
Your guns are loaded
And your lies are the bullets
So here is the trigger
Go ahead and pull it now

[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

[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
