Wish it was different

[Intro]
Echoes of the past, shadows still cast
Wishing things could be different, wish I could forget the last

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
