[Intro: Dark Piano Groove]
(Play me, play me, yeah)
(Six months wasted...)
(Sixteen years of shadows)
(Watch the strings break)
[Verse 1]
You took away six months that I could have used to heal (Used to heal)
But instead I was falling, getting in way too deep (Too deep)
I thought you were all I needed until you suddenly weren't
Just another painful lesson that my broken heart learned
And the whole time you were telling me not to trust the rest
I should've known you were the one putting lies in my chest
[Pre-Chorus: Bass Build]
You called me beautiful and my heart soared so high
You told me all the things a broken heart needed to survive
With your eloquent words, you put a spell on my mind
Leaving the real one, the steady one, stranded behind...
[Beat Drop]
[Chorus: Powerful Belt]
'Cause you played me like a fiddle, kept me hiding in the dark! (Like a fiddle!)
Never intended to take me out, just stepped on my spark! (Stepped on my spark)
Just me hiding in the shadows of a beautiful lie
Just like I have been doing for sixteen years gone by
Yeah, I'm done being the fool, done with the twists and the turns
No more playing the fiddle while my world slowly burns!
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Vocal Hook]
(Ooh, you played me, played me)
(Fiddle with the strings till they break, yeah)
(Played me, played me)
(But I'm wide awake)
(Yeah, I'm wide awake now)
[Verse 2]
I did what I always do as a mother every day (Every day)
Giving people the benefit of the doubt, trying to clear the way
Only to be proven wrong, standing out in the cold
When I could have moved forward with a love made of gold
I could have moved forward with him, the one before you came near
But you were closer, with eloquent words making the truth disappear
[Bridge: Climax Build]
He never had a chance, no, I gave it all to you
Look at the damage that your pretty words can do
And here I am finally realizing the price that I paid
The fool and the fiddle, just a tool that you made
Never cherished... (Never cherished!)
But not anymore!
[Guitar Solo]
(Yeah! Oh-oh... break it down!)
[Chorus: Maximum Energy]
'Cause you played me like a fiddle, kept me hiding in the dark! (Like a fiddle!)
Never intended to take me out, just stepped on my spark! (Stepped on my spark)
Just me hiding in the shadows of a beautiful lie
Just like I have been doing for sixteen years gone by
Yeah, I'm done being the fool! (Done being the fool!)
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Vocal Hook]
(Ooh, you played me, played me)
(Fiddle with the strings till they break, yeah)
(Played me, played me)
(But I'm wide awake)
[Outro: Smooth Fade]
Never cherished... (Never cherished)
But I'm stepping out the door.
No more shadows, no more hiding anymore.
The fiddle is broken. (It's broken now)
Yeah, the strings are undone.
He's still out there... moving toward the sun.
Just the light...
(Played me, played me... no more)
[Fade Out]
