(Verse 1)
Sunrise cuts through the shades, another morning light,
No more secrets to be kept, no more hiding in the night.
The fallout's been heavy, the silence even worse,
Every word I spoke was fake, now living with the curse.
Of shattered trust and broken hearts, a path I chose to tread,
Wishing I could take it back, all the cruel things that I said.
But the damage is done now, the wreckage is plain to see,
Just a ghost of who I was, haunting what's left of me.
(Chorus)
And the truth is, it left me empty, hollowed out inside,
After all the masquerading, there's nowhere left to hide.
The bitter taste of honesty, it cuts me to the bone,
Now I'm standing in the wreckage, completely on my own.
No more alibis, no more games to play,
Just the ashes of the past, fading day by day.
The truth is, it set me free, but at what a cost?
Everything I built, everything I loved, completely lost.
(Verse 2)
I tried to rebuild, piece by painful piece,
But every foundation was rotten, giving me no peace.
The mirror shows a stranger, with eyes I barely know,
Haunted by reflections of the seeds I chose to sow.
Every memory's tainted, every smile feels wrong,
A constant reminder of where I don't belong.
This heavy weight upon my chest, a burden I must bear,
For the years I spent deceiving, living in a constant snare.
(Chorus)
And the truth is, it left me empty, hollowed out inside,
After all the masquerading, there's nowhere left to hide.
The bitter taste of honesty, it cuts me to the bone,
Now I'm standing in the wreckage, completely on my own.
No more alibis, no more games to play,
Just the ashes of the past, fading day by day.
The truth is, it set me free, but at what a cost?
Everything I built, everything I loved, completely lost.
(Bridge)
Maybe someday, I'll find a way to mend,
To face the damage I caused, and truly comprehend.
That freedom's not in silence, or in a clever lie,
It's in the messy honesty, beneath a watchful eye.
But the scars remain, a map of all my wrongs,
Echoes of the lies I sang in all my selfish songs.
(Outro)
Yeah, the truth is... it was brutal, the price I had to pay,
For every single lie I whispered, then just walked away.
