Verse 1
Took her out for coffee on her birthday
Let her pick the table by the glass
I smiled as I passed her the latte
But somehow she stuck on the past
She talked about god like he could fix things
Said “what he did… that’s not him”
Am I supposed to believe that?
A selfish sinner hiding behind innocent skin
Who said forgiveness be the only ticket?
What about the ones who can’t forgive
Don’t make me cruel or corrupt
Just cuz I won’t call evil a form of love
Chorus
I won’t be the one to make this okay
I won’t lie for family even if they blood
Don’t ask me to pray for the one who betrayed
My trust
Just to fit in your version of love
If silence is loyalty then call me a traitor
You want peace, but it’s peace on your terms
And I’m done pretending I’m fine
Verse 2
Got a call from her, out the blue
Said, “I need to ask… was he ever wrong with you?”
My fuckin heart stopped and dropped through the floor
Went still, time froze,
And truth came to light
In that moment, he changed forever
Every smile, every laugh
Felt like cover of a mask he’s been wearing to disguise a bad past,
But is it present? Is it now? How can I trust?
All questions on my mind, no answers and no time
To process
I was just a kid and he was playing pretend
And I’ve been haunted by that call ever since
Chorus
I won’t be the one to make this okay
I won’t lie for family even if they blood
Don’t ask me to pray for the one who betrayed
My trust
Just to fit in your version of love
If silence is loyalty then call me a traitor
You want peace, but it’s peace on your terms
And I’m done pretending I’m fine
Bridge
I used to think silence was louder than strength
That if I stayed loyal, I’d survive a little longer
But strength isn’t silence it’s choosing to speak
Even when your voice shakes and your family leaves
She wanted me to carry his sins like their mine
If telling the truth makes me the villain in her eyes
Then I’ll wear that title at least I never lied…
