Songs about Betrayal and Double Crossing
Et tu, Brute? Trust is the strongest bond between humans, and yet it is also the most fragile. Trust the wrong person too far, and you can literally get stabbed in the back. Or put all of your faith in the wrong lover, and they can betray your faith when they dirty deal you. Whenever we're deceived, it stabs especially deep.
These songs are all about people who bet three chips on the wrong number, picked the wrong pony, or trusted the wrong sweet face. Most of them are now singing the blues, perhaps poorer but certainly wiser. In between you might find the occasional song with the villain gloating over the sham they're about to pull or just pulled.

Adia Sarah McLachlan
"I leave you with your misery
A friend who won’t betray
I pull you from your tower
I take away your pain" -

Backstabber Eminem
"Dealing with backstabber's there was one thing I learned
They're only powerful when you got your back turned
I yearned for the day that we finally met again
So I can give him a taste of his own medicine" -
Backstabber Kesha
"Girl, you're such a backstabber
Run your mouth more than anyone I've ever known
And everybody knows it" -

Before He Cheats Carrie Underwood
"Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp
and she's probably getting frisky.
Right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink
'cause she can't shoot whiskey" -

Cry Me a River Justin Timberlake
"You don't have to say, what you did,
I already know, I found out from him,
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it" -

Falling Out Ween
"Always thought of you as my big brother
Never knew we couldn't trust each other
Two faces I could see, as you shook my money tree
There's no more 'you and me' let it be" -
Found Out About You Gin Blossoms
"All the lines you wrote to me were lies
The months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?" -
Friend of Mine Lily Allen
"I can hear you chatting shit,
I hear it every night.
And you think you’re being really cool,
You’ve been doing it since we were both at school,
Now who looks like a fool" -

I'm Not The Only One Sam Smith
"You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in a way it hurts" -

Positively 4th Street Bob Dylan
"You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning" -

The Long Black Veil Johnny Cash
The judge said “son, what is your alibi?”
“If you were somewhere else, then you won’t have to die”
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife -
