Betrayed Lyrics

Cover art for Betrayed lyrics by Lou Reed

I'm tempted to say, "Way to make it all about you, Lou," but I won't. Instead I'll say this is an interesting take on what it's like to be in a relationship with an incest survivor. The father is always there, between them - so to the husband, I suppose it could feel like he's being cheated on, in a way. The second stanza saves it from being totally self-centered, by showing empathy and respect for her.
