Verse 1
You didn’t walk into my life
You moved in like you’d be my wife
Knew my stories, felt my soul… Learned just how to use me so
We stay up late just talking
didn’t know you’d be back haunting
You learned my fears by heart
And you promised you’d do your part
You said I was safe with you
I believed that lie and didn’t have a clue.
Pre-Chorus
You knew my past, every broken part
You drive that knife to my open heart
Chorus
Turned my name into a crime
My life is now out of time
Told the world a version of me
I don’t even recognize
I lost friends, I lost peace
I lost days, my heart will cease
You didn’t have to ruin me
I guess the truth doesn’t matter.
Verse 2
You were there at my weakest
When you said you’d always be there for me
So I fought for you, I stood up loud
Defended you and you made me proud
I never thought after we saved each other
You make my heart stop and sputter
Pre-Chorus
You knew exactly what to say
You knew exactly who would believe
You needed a villain for your story
So you twisted my words into lies and deception
Chorus
Turned my name into a crime
My life is now out of time
Told the world a version of me
I don’t even recognize
I lost friends, I lost peace
I lost days, my heart will cease
You didn’t have to ruin me
I guess the truth doesn’t matter.
Bridge
I would’ve let you go in peace
But you needed sympathy and had greed
So you buried me until you had done the deed
You didn’t just break my heart
You took my life apart
Didn’t know you were on a different journey
So you destroyed me by hiding behind an attorney
Final Chorus (big)
Turned my name into a crime
My life is now out of time
Told the world a version of me
I don’t even recognize
I lost friends, I lost peace
I lost days, my heart will cease
You didn’t have to ruin me
I guess the truth doesn’t matter.
