House Arrest

You showed up broken, mascara and scars
Said the whole damn world had dealt you bad cards
I pulled you close like you were mine to save
Didn’t see I was digging my own grave

You cried in my arms, swore I was home
Said every other man left you alone
I believed every trembling breath you took
But the devil was hiding behind that look

I was your shelter in the pouring rain
You were just learning how to hide the pain

You were cheating while you swore you loved me
Lying while you were touching me
Leading me down roads that never were real
Just teaching my heart how betrayal feels

I stayed by your side through the worst of it
Even when you were stuck on house arrest
But the moment those shackles came undone
You disappeared into the dark and run

Like I was nothing in your story’s end
Like I was never even more than a friend
You walked away without a single tear
And left me bleeding right here

Your phone would light in the dead of night
You’d turn away and kill the light
Said it was nothing, just friends you knew
But shadows don’t lie the way you do

I remember the silence after the fights
How your eyes went cold like winter nights
Somewhere between love and your escape
I realized I was just your mistake

I was the fool who stayed too long
While you perfected every wrong

You were cheating while you swore you loved me
Lying while you were touching me
Leading me down roads that never were real
Just teaching my heart how betrayal feels

I stayed by your side through the worst of it
Even when you were stuck on house arrest
But the moment those shackles came undone
You disappeared into the dark and run

Like I was nothing in your story’s end
Like I was never even more than a friend
You walked away without a single tear
And left me bleeding right here

Now the nights feel colder than before
Your ghost still haunts my bedroom floor
Every promise echoes like a crime
Every memory doing time

You were cheating while you swore you loved me
Lying while you were touching me
Leading me on just long enough
To watch my whole damn world erupt

I stayed by your side through the worst of it
Even when you were stuck on house arrest
But the second your freedom finally came
You burned my heart and left the flame

Like I was never even real
Like my love was nothing you could feel
You walked away into the night
And left me alone with the fight

ALLIE HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!!?
