LYRICS--Bridge Blues: Stay or Go

It’s amen to Stayman, I give up the fight.

The insults and muddles are giving me troubles.

I can’t sleep at night for thinking of doubles.


My cards are all rotten

And I have forgotten

Who has played what and what is trump

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
