True colors

Verse 1) You were the gold standard, the frame around the view The definition of perfect, everything I wanted to be like you We had a language only we could speak, a world built for two And I believed in every single word you said, every single thing you do

(Chorus) But the world keeps spinning, doesn't wait for anyone's plea And the moment he walked in the door, you didn't remember me Suddenly the pedestal broke, and the perfect image fell You showed your true colors, and honestly, they tasted like hell

(Verse 2) You didn't just walk away, you built a fire to burn You took every vulnerable secret I let you learn Told all the stories, the fears I'd only confessed to you Like they were currency, a cheap trick for something new And the worst part is, the pain, the betrayal, I can't deny I still hold on to yours, under lock and key, and I don't know why

(Chorus) But the world keeps spinning, doesn't wait for anyone's plea And the moment he walked in the door, you didn't remember me Suddenly the pedestal broke, and the perfect image fell You showed your true colors, and honestly, they tasted like hell

(Bridge) It was a backstab in the light, not in the dark A slow, painful splintering, leaving its scar and its mark We were supposed to be forever, a tether, a reliable string But you cut it for a temporary tune, a shiny, fleeting thing

(Outro) And I mean this, with every ounce of hurt, and every single sigh I genuinely wish you well, under a clear, blue sky But when I think of what you did, the wreckage you left behind Get out of my head, get out of my life... Go to hell.
