[Instrumentation
Haunting distorted electric guitar intro, deep bass, tom-heavy drums, cinematic strings, ambient electric guitar swells, gritty rock guitars in chorus, layered harmonies, piano in bridge, dramatic pauses, explosive final chorus.]
[Vocal Style
Emotional cracks are welcome. Powerful belt in choruses. Whispered lines before explosive phrases.]
[Verse]
[Female Vocal]
[Soft vocal. Restrained and conversational. Sparse guitar.]
You lit the match then blamed the fire
Watched me burn and called me a liar
Every truth I held in my hands
You painted fake with shaking hands
Built a courtroom in your head
Convicted me for things you did
Fake accounts… fake tears… fake son…
Tell me… who was fooling whom?
[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums begin building.]
Every finish line kept moving
So I’d spend forever proving
While your skeletons stayed dressed in white
Calling my survival a fight
[CHORUS]
[Full band explodes.]
You wrote me as the villain
While you rehearsed your alibi
Pointed every finger at me
With someone else’s lipstick on your lies
You called me crazy
You called me fake
Said I made up everything
Just to help your conscience escape
You were so busy burying the truth
You never saw what you destroyed
You buried trust
You buried us
And left me standing in the void
[Verse]
[Band pulls back.]
Hope’s a prison wearing your face
Every breadcrumb looked like grace
Every “good morning”… every call…
Just enough to watch me fall
Kept me drowning near the shore
Close enough to beg for more
I’d find your lighthouse in the dark
Then you’d blow it all apart
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build again.]
You made me doubt what I could see
Even memories questioned me
Funny how gaslight burns so bright
Until daylight kills the lie
[POWER CHORUS]
[Biggest instrumentation yet.]
You accused me of inventing ghosts
While sleeping beside your own
Wanted proof… I carried proof
Beneath my heartbeat all along
Black and white couldn’t change your mind
Truth required too much from you
It’s easier to call me crazy
Than admit what you put me through
[Bridge]
[Everything drops to piano.]
When my whole world started breaking…
I kept looking…
For the man I loved.
But when the sky came crashing down…
When our son slipped through my hands…
You weren’t a shelter.
You were another storm.
I kept hoping…
For someone who only existed
Between apologies
And empty promises.
[FINAL CHORUS]
[Huge guitars, strings, layered harmonies.]
Go tell your story.
Paint me however helps you sleep.
Tell them I imagined everything
While your lies grew roots beneath your feet.
History won’t need your version.
It remembers what you hide.
You spent so long
Trying to prove
That I was the lie…
You never noticed
You became one.
[Music stops. One sustained guitar note. Silence.]
