Verse 1
(low register, gritty, restrained power — almost spoken with grit; slow build)
You took my trust and made it bleed,
Turned every truth into a need.
You smiled and lied straight to my face,
Then left me drowning in disgrace.
(slight dynamic lift — more bite in consonants)
You cut me down without a sound,
And never cared if I was found.
You walked away without a trace,
Left me alone to take your place.
Pre-Chorus
(tight, rhythmic, teeth clenched — emotional tension)
I gave you loyalty, you gave me shame,
I held you close, you cursed my name.
Chorus
(wide, powerful, cinematic — chest voice, sustained vowels, orchestral swell)
Oh, what a cruel thing to love someone
Who breaks you just for fun.
What a bitter pill to swallow,
When the lies come one by one.
I shattered in the silence,
I bowed beneath the weight —
But God is still my witness,
And He won’t let this be my fate.
(sustain on “fate” — long reverb, no vibrato until release)
Verse 2
(back to controlled intensity — darker tone, slightly breathy rasp)
I tried to fix what wasn’t mine,
Held broken glass like it was fine.
You watched me bleed, you watched me bend,
You never stayed until the end.
(lead into despair rather than anger)
Your promises were paper thin,
They burned before they could begin.
Your love was just a clever game,
And I was foolish with your name.
Pre-Chorus
(less grit, more resignation — drop percussion for contrast)
I gave you honesty, you gave me doubt,
I let you in, you shut me out.
Chorus
(stronger, wider, more drums + low brass + strings)
Oh, what a cruel thing to trust someone
Who hides behind their tongue.
What a heavy thing to carry,
When betrayal weighs a ton.
I stumbled through the chaos,
I broke beneath the strain —
But God is still my witness,
He sees every hidden pain.
Bridge
(start soft + prophetic, then enormous — spoken-sung → then full belt)
You thought my story ended
When you walked away from me.
But you don’t write my chapters —
God writes my destiny.
(build — add drums/low brass/choir pads)
You used your lies like weapons,
But Heaven never blinked.
You tried to drown my spirit,
But I refused to sink.
(last line: big belt, long sustain on “sink”)
Final Chorus
(FULL POWER — cinematic, male belt, choir behind, drums pounding)
Oh, what a blessed thing to know my God
Will heal what others break.
What a holy thing to stand again,
With truth in my awake.
The wounds you left will close in time,
The scars will be my song —
What you broke, God will mend,
And He will make me strong.
Outro
(drop to almost whisper — intimate, breathy, guitar + soft piano)
I’m not undone, I’m not ashamed —
God knows my heart, He knows my name.
(final word: minimal vibrato, long decay)
Endi
