He promised castles, but built only walls
Gave you roses, but they came with thorns
You thought you'd fly, but he's why you mourn
[Verse 2]
He had a smile that could melt any heart
Whispered sweet nothings, right from the start
Led you down a path, bejeweled and bright
Back then, you thought love was just a game
Paint the town, speckled with fame
Speckled with fame, speckled with fame
[Verse 3]
Now your dress glitters under neon lights
And they all talk how, you shine so bright
But beneath the mascara and your high-heeled feats
Hides the heartbreak, too real to disguise
Every laugh covers silent cries
Yet you still hold your head so high
You say you're fine, but we see through the lie
[Chorus]
And every photo's just a frame, to mask the hurt you can't rename
But in your eyes, there's a story untold, a heart that's brave, but feels so cold
You wear his name like a hidden scar
Traded your soul for his shiny car
The girl in the mirror, she used to dream
Now she's lost in his broken theme
[Bridge]
Underneath the city lights, you fake that smile, but the hurt ignites
Hope, still flickers, in the quiet of the night
[Verse 4]
He spun a web of love so sweet
Caught in his trap, you felt complete
But shadows lurk where the bright lights gleam
The fairy tale isn't what it seemed
[Chorus]
And every photo's just a frame, to mask the hurt you can't rename
But in your eyes, there's a story untold, a heart that's brave, but feels so cold
In the corner room where memories fade
You pick up the pieces of the mess he's made
Once so in love, now you're just afraid
[Verse 5]
You gave him everything, he wanted it all
Still, he left you standing by your heart's downfall
In the shadows of the night, you hear his call
[Chorus]
But every photo's just a frame, to mask the hurt you can't rename
In your eyes, there's a story untold, a heart that's brave, but feels so cold
Everybody sees the glamour and fame,
But don't see the tears behind your name
[Verse 6]
Dreams once gilded, now turned to rust
All his promises crumbled to dust
[Verse 7]
All the flash and fame felt so grand
But you lost yourself in the palm of his hand
Now the world's a stage, and he's the lead
While you're left to pick up the pieces in need
[Chorus]
And every photo's just a frame, to mask the hurt you can't rename
But in your eyes, there's a story untold, a heart that's brave, but feels so cold
[Verse 8]
You painted smiles, while hiding the scars
Danced through nights with your broken heart
A masquerade of perfect days, but truth lies in the dark
You reached for stars, now you're lost among them
Fallen pieces, dreams undone
[Chorus]
And every photo's just a frame, to mask the hurt you can't rename
