Shadows of Deception

[Intro]
Late at night, I’m still awake, swirling thoughts I can't escape
Lost in the maze of truths and lies, a storm is what I face

[Verse 1]
Thought I knew her story, thought I knew her heart
Then the truth hit like lightning, tearing me apart
Two weeks gone, she hid her secret, now my world's upside down
Baby born in silence, no warning, no reason, no sound

[Pre-Chorus]
He texts me sayin' he’s not the one, my mind’s in disarray
Questionin' everything we had, feelings fade away
Caught in a battle of doubt, I’m caught in a fight
Tryna find peace in this chaos every night

[Chorus]
Living in the shadows of a love I can't trust
Sacrifices made, but was it enough?
Courtrooms and questions, trying to find my place
Lost in the storm, feeling trapped in this space

[Bridge]
My grandfather's house, my sanctuary, my refuge
But even love from family can't undo this truth
The nights are long, my worries ain't done
Hoping someday I’ll find my way in the sun

[Outro]
Crazy how life turns, how love can burn
Praying for the strength, for my turn to learn
One day, this pain will fade, I'll find my peace
Till then I’m fighting, praying for release

Soulful R&B ballad, emotional vocal, acoustic guitar, subtle drums
