[Verse]
Twelve years of your mirror shine
You spoke the world was yours not mine
I laughed at jokes that cut too deep
A friendship sold but never cheap
[Prechorus]
I lost my name in your parade
Your spotlight burned where shadows stayed
[Chorus]
Stranger by deadline
My heart drew the line
Your love was a spotlight
But it was never mine
Stranger by deadline
I’m taking back my time
I gave you my laughter
You gave me decline
[Verse 2]
You wore the crown
I held the throne
Your world so loud
I lived alone
You tossed out words like paper planes
They cut me soft
They left me drained
[Prechorus]
I stitched my wounds with silent nights
But silence screams when wrong feels right
[Chorus]
Stranger by deadline
My heart drew the line
Your love was a spotlight
But it was never mine
Stranger by deadline
I’m taking back my time
I gave you my laughter
You gave me decline
