Your Story Changed

You took an interest
And said all the right things
You knew which buttons to press
“Let freedom ring!”

Friendly debates,
common ground,
Shared insights,
Comrades all around

Little to question about integrity
Principles of human decency

Chorus
That’s when
Your story changed

You countered everything
Betrayed my trust
Laid me bare
Ridiculed me in public
For ideas we both shared

Chorus
That’s when
You’re story changed

Bridge
Something’s not right with you
Were you a fraud from the start?
A mole, an operative?
Or am I paranoid at heart?

Chorus
But then again,
You’re story changed.
