Verse 1
I was stupid enough to fall for you,
Mistook your lies for something true.
Built my life on promises,
Never knowing the real you.
Pre-Chorus
I ignored every warning sign,
Bent those flags into heart shapes.
You were always three steps ahead of me
The Master of being fake
Chorus
You made me the bad guy in your story,
Just to keep your hands looking clean.
You wore the truth like a costume,
Only when somebody could see.
You spun your lies so carefully,
Till I questioned who I am.
The hardest part’s not losing you—
It’s knowing you were never a good man.
Verse 2
I stood beside you through it all,
Believed the one you claimed to be.
You changed the story when it served you,
Then handed all the blame to me.
Now you’re writing your own ending,
Painting me in colors that I ain’t.
The truth don’t need a louder voice,
It just needs time to strip that paint.
Chorus
You made me the bad guy in your story,
Just to keep your hands looking clean.
You wore the truth like a costume,
Only when somebody could see.
You spun your lies so carefully,
Till I questioned who I am.
The hardest part’s not losing you—
It’s knowing you were never a good man.
Bridge
I’ve replayed a million moments,
Questioning how this could be.
The man I gave my whole heart to…
How could you do this to me?
Were you ever who I believed,
Or just that good at your disguise?
I’m grieving someone who never lived—
Only the man behind your lies.
Final Chorus
You made me the bad guy in your story,
Just to keep your hands looking clean.
You wore the truth like a costume,
Only when somebody could see.
You spun your lies so carefully,
Till I questioned who I am.
The hardest part’s not losing you—
It’s knowing you were never a good man.
