Betray Me Lyrics

I think it's about Mark Tremonti's relationship with Scott Stapp (singer of Creed).

"A fragile thing thrown far from everyone Awakening, found strength but now it's gone Let us stay force fed and beaten down Tossed away, held down forever now"

A fragile thing thrown far refers to Creed's break-up in 2004, and how getting together again in 2009 worked for a while but they eventually lost their spark.

"How could you betray me Remember hope, remember faith, remember trust Defiant, controlling Another day, a new excuse, it's not enough"

Tremonti feels betrayed by Stapp, who keeps coming with excuses but they can't justify his behavior. Stapp was diagnosed with bipolar disorder recently, so it might refer to that being an excuse for his extreme behavior over the years.

"Reconcile, rebuild, begin to see The only hope, the one thing that's guided me Searching for one shred of dignity Holding close those few and far between"

Tremonti and Stapp (and the rest of Creed) made up and started up the band again, but Tremonti began to see that Stapp hadn't changed.
