about

Bet was written about CC’s abusive ex-boyfriend Joshua, who was her best friend since she was 12 years old. After 9 years of being best friends, they chose to finally date and unfortunately their relationship was far more toxic than either of them could’ve ever imagined. This song was written by CC after she found out the amount of infidelity, betrayal, and lies she received throughout those two very unhealthy years of her life with him. Obviously, they are no longer friends and this song is a message to him, reminding him that not only was he unfair to her as a partner, the betrayal hurt the most due to their years of committed best friendship. Insider information: her nickname for him since middle school was Yeshua, which transcribes Joshua to Jesus, which is directly played upon in the breakdown, with his higher than thou attitude walking on water while she drowned.

lyrics

Verse
You told me I couldn't, So now I am
Never again, do I need a hand
to hold like stone I'm on my own
I cross the road
Now here we go

You only blame and theres no growth
you never know how to let go
admit forgive, learn and move on
impossible cause you're never wrong

Pre-chorus / Chorus
How can you lay your head to rest, at night?
After all the vicious fights
You used me and bruised me
the hatred you left is yours not mine

Verse
You thought you could break me
but here I stand
In disbelief that I trusted a man
who called himself mine, what a waste of time
the darkest schemes, only you could design

Again and again, no time to pretend
the only difference is that you were my friend
a promise to love, protect and care
acts of betrayal tell me how was it fair?

Pre-chorus / Chorus
How can you lay your head to rest, at night?
After all the vicious fights
You used me and bruised me
the hatred you left is yours not mine

Bridge 1
Black & Green you should have seen
the blood I would have poured for you
The world I didn't explore for you

Bridge 2
You didn't hold me back
you tied me
you tied me to an anchor
and acted like you
like you owned the ocean
like you could walk on water

Breakdown 1:
and you let me drown
so on the surface you seemed higher
Yeshua walking on water

Pre-chorus / Chorus
At night
After all the vicious fights
You used me and bruised me
the hatred you left is yours not mine

Breakdown 2:
Say you're wrong to me
Just once
so I know you see the pain you've caused
to your best friend
your best friend
I thought I was your
your best friend
