Veil of illusion

Verse 1:

Come here now, you’re just tired

Lay down, rest by my side

Is it true that you wanna go?

Why would you hurt me just to feed your ego?

Sweet talk and tenderness pulled me back to you,

Even when I knew you’d never love me like I do.

Verse 2:

Young and naïve, you tricked me with those sparkling eyes

Gave you all of me, hoping our love would rise

It’s all my fault, ‘cause you never made the effort

You played it well, just adding me to your record

Chorus:

That’s not the love I thought I’d known before

It’s hurting, and it’s leaving scars I can’t ignore

If I knew you’d break my core,

I would’ve walked away and let it be no more

Verse 3:

The wrinkles covering my heart and soul

You always said I was kinda dull

Looking at the mirror, trying to fake a smile

So you won’t lose interest in me for a while

Wasting my time, waiting for you to come back

Is the only thing I’ve mastered after patching up my cracks

Chorus (Repeat):

That’s not the love I thought I’d known before

It’s hurting, and it’s leaving scars I can’t ignore

If I knew you’d break my core,

I would’ve walked away and let it be no more

Bridge:

Shiny aura around you, now completely faded

The role you played? So poorly graded

The bitter truth leaves me feeling useless

Crying diamonds of blood—yet you stay clueless

Outro:

Wiping my tears, I chase you through the dark tunnel

My love consumes me like a dying candle

I'll blindfold myself with a veil of illusion

Come and use me, no need for confusion

‘Cause I love you, and I'll never make a decision.
