Woven Lies
(Verse 1)
A budding love, a week-old bloom,
Stepped softly in a crowded room.
The soccer roar, a friendly hum,
One heart unsure, about to succumb.
(Pre-Chorus)
He reached inside, from shadows deep,
Pulled out a jacket, secrets to keep.
"How is it, friends?" a question tossed,
A fragile thread, where hope was crossed.
(Chorus)
"Ugly," they sneered, a cruel decree,
"Toss it now, just set it free!"
He smiled, "Just once," his voice was thin,
A whisper lost in laughter's din.
She didn't know, not yet, not quite,
She was the cloth in fickle light.
(Verse 2)
That night, she dreamed a golden dance,
A soulmate found in fleeting glance.
His words fell sweet, like sugared rain,
She breathed them in, forgot the pain.
(Pre-Chorus)
She felt forever, wide and warm,
Blind to the brewing, silent storm.
Morning came, a biting chill,
No message, no ping, no thrill.
(Chorus)
Blocked and barred, no reason why.
Just silence where his heart should lie.
The dream dissolved, her colors bled,
A ghost, a void, where hope had tread.
(Bridge)
But then, a flicker, faint and slow,
A memory's lamp began to glow.
The jacket's fate, a shadow sign,
Reflecting her, by cruel design.
He wore her once, then let her fall,
No second thought, no name to call.
(Chorus)
"Ugly," they sneered, a cruel decree,
"Toss it now, just set it free!"
He smiled, "Just once," his voice was thin,
A whisper lost in laughter's din.
She didn't know, not yet, not quite,
She was the cloth in fickle light.
(Outro)
Oh, fragile hearts that twist and bend,
When friendships mask, and love pretends.
Don't chase your worth through borrowed eyes,
The truest flame still burns inside.
Let sorrow teach, let silence sting,
Let broken hearts learn how to sing.
We are more than passing trends,
We are whole, we break, we mend.
We are whole... we break... we mend.
