[Intro]
Three and a half years, what did it really mean?
Gave my all, but I was just a dream
Harboring hopes while you played your game
Now I see through, I'm done with the pain
[Verse 1]
I stayed up all night, tears in my eyes
Worked my hands to the bone, as my heart silently cried
Every little thing for you, I was there, unconditionally
But to you, I was just someone to use and never see
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my best, I gave you my soul
But when I looked around, I was left cold
Thought we had a future, thought we had a chance
But it was just a dance, a cruel, cruel trance
[Chorus]
Now I finally see, I wasted my time
You never loved me, just a masquerade so vile
Walking away, I’m breaking free
Losing you, finally freeing me
These sleepless nights, my cries in the dark
Mending my broken heart, making a new start
I loved so hard, I gave my all
But now I rise, I stand tall
[Verse 2]
You played your games, hid your lies
While I was loyal, while I cried
All the chances I gave, all the tears I shed
You never cared, just another man misled
[Pre-Chorus]
I was your refuge, your peace, your home
But I was just a servant, stuck alone
It’s over now, I see the truth
Time to walk away, reclaim my youth
[Chorus]
Now I finally see, I wasted my time
You never loved me, just a masquerade so vile
Walking away, I’m breaking free
Losing you, finally freeing me
These sleepless nights, my cries in the dark
Mending my broken heart, making a new start
I loved so hard, I gave my all
But now I rise, I stand tall
[Bridge]
No more tears, no more pain
No more promises in vain
I’m done with the scars, I’ll find my way
From the ashes, I’ll rise someday
[Outro]
Three and a half years, now I’m free from your chain
Learning to live, to love again
Losing you, I found myself
A new beginning, a breath of fresh air’s scent
[End]
