Verse 1
You held my hand like it meant something,
Lights flashing, crowds humming.
I thought your smile was only mine,
But it was just part of your shine.
Pre-Chorus
I should’ve seen through the perfect pose,
Through every line you rehearsed like a show.
Chorus
Was I just a step on your stage?
A name to boost your glittering page?
Tch… guess I was blind to the truth—
You wanted fame, not me, not the proof
Of any love you claimed to feel.
Now I know… none of it was real.
Verse 2
Every whisper felt painted gold,
But gold flakes crack when the touch turns cold.
You held me close when the cameras stared,
But behind the scenes… you never cared.
Pre-Chorus
I tried to believe you weren’t that cruel,
But your heart was a spotlight—mine the tool.
Chorus
Was I just a step on your stage?
A convenient name for your next page?
Tch… I hate that you fooled me so well,
Wrapped me in lies you knew I’d sell.
You only loved the crowd’s appeal—
Now I see… none of it was real.
Bridge
But listen—
I don’t break just because you lied.
I’ll burn your shadows from my side.
I’m done playing your accessory—
Watch me rise without you,
and this time, it’s me.
Final Chorus
I was never just part of your stage—
I’m the one stepping out of your cage.
Keep your fame, your hollow thrill—
My heart doesn’t live where love stands still.
You took my trust like it was a deal…
But now I breathe—
and I’m the one that’s real.
