Wish it was different

Echoes of the past, shadows still cast

Wishing things could be different, wish I could forget the last

It might have been different if from the very start

The tides had turned differently, straight from my heart

You talked to someone else, I saw through the disguise

All I wanted was your truth, truth behind your eyes

You lied, you played your game while I was holding on

Thought I knew, thought you were true, now the faith is gone

Remember that moment, your arms, a fleeting grace

Took the pain away briefly, but I saw through your face

Deep down I know you’re lying

While I was crying, you were trying

To hide the truth, you knew

All I ever wanted was you

Laughing at my love, your words like a spread of lies

I never did what you did, I stayed true and tried

You claimed I’m as bad, but I was just the same

You hid your truth behind the mask, played your little game

All the words unspoken, all the wounds, unhealed

Trust betrayed, love decayed, wounds that never healed

Remember that moment, your arms, meant everything

But I knew in your mind, someone else was king

Deep down I know you’re lying

While I was crying, you were trying

To hide the truth, you knew

All I ever wanted was you

If only from the start, things were different

If love was honest, no pretending, no insistence

But now the echoes fade, shadows in the night

All I wanted was our truth, a different light

Maybe someday, I’ll forget the pain

But the scars remind me, love’s a losing game

All I ever wanted was you, plain and true

But deep down I know, you never loved me too
