Verse 1)
You said forever like it meant something real
But your eyes were shifting, I could feel the deal
Every word you whispered tasted like disguise
Wrapped in pretty stories, built on quiet lies
(Pre-Chorus)
I saw the warning signs you tried to hide
All the red flags waving, I just chose your side
(Chorus)
Lies and deceit, dressed up like love
You pulled me close just to push me off
Broken trust, now I see it clear
All your manipulation kept me living in fear
Now all that’s left is pain in my chest
A hollow echo where you once confessed
Heartbreak’s the truth I can’t outrun
You were the war I thought I’d won
⸻
(Verse 2)
Every time you smiled, there was something underneath
A quiet kind of cruelty dressed up sweet
You played your part so perfectly rehearsed
Turned my healing into something cursed
(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you pieces I can’t replace
You turned them all into a losing game
(Chorus)
Lies and deceit, dressed up like love
You pulled me close just to push me off
Broken trust, now I see it clear
All your manipulation kept me living in fear
Now all that’s left is pain in my chest
A hollow echo where you once confessed
Heartbreak’s the truth I can’t outrun
You were the war I thought I’d won
⸻
(Bridge)
Was it ever real or just control?
Did you ever care or play a role?
I trace the scars you left behind
Your love was poison by design
⸻
(Outro)
No more lies, no more disguise
I see the truth behind your eyes
From hurt and pain, I’m walking free
No more of you controlling me
