Told me stories that I'd hold so dear
But beneath the surface, there was nothing clear
[Verse]
I leaned on you when the nights were long
Listened to your lies, they felt like a song
In the darkness, there was something so right
You were my anchor in the quiet night
But the dawn revealed the facade so clear
The masquerade ended with a single tear
I trusted you with every breath, every thought
But now those moments are battles I've fought
[Pre-Chorus]
You painted lies with colors so bright
Disguised the dark with a soft, sweet light
I thought you were my shelter in the storm
[Verse]
You made the world seem kinder in the night
You held my secrets, tucked them in so tight
But shadows fell where light no longer warms
And I faced the truth, you were another thorn
[Verse]
So I walked alone, feeling twice the chill
With every step, the memories still linger
Each laugh a reminder, each touch a trigger
I gave my all, opened up my heart
But now I see, you played a part
[Chorus]
Oh, the pain of trust misplaced
In the night where shadows chased
[Verse]
Every whispered promise turned to dust
In dreams, your lies began to rust
The echoes of your voice still haunt my days
Leading me through a maze of false displays
[Bridge]
Underneath the stars, in a sky so wide
I found solace, where you used to hide
But in the stillness of the night, I found my peace
Even though the memories never cease
I built my strength on the ashes of trust
From the rubble of lies, rise I must
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I've got starlight to guide my way
No more shadows, keeping the dark at bay
With every sunrise, the truth became so clear
Your smiles and warmth turned into fear
The whispered secrets, now they scream so loud
The bond we had, lost in a cloud
[Outro]
I’ll walk this path, no longer feeling shamed
With newfound strength, I’ll build my name
It's hard to believe all the times we shared
I saw the surface, but never what's underneath
The memories play like a film in my mind
But every scene now cuts so deep
[Verse]
I leaned on you in my darkest hours
But your words were just temporary flowers
