*Verse 1*
You studied me like a script to learn
Said all the things I needed to hear
Held up a mirror, called it love
Every word a perfect forgery
You knew exactly where to press
Turned my own heart into a weapon
*Pre-Chorus*
But a mirror's not a person, it's just glass
Reflecting light it never had
And when I stopped performing for you
The reflection cracked in two
*Chorus*
You were never real, just a hollow disguise
A stranger wearing the shape of my life
You followed my shadow, you counted my steps
But you couldn't touch what you never had left
I'm not the ghost here — you are
Nothing. Empty. A waste of life. A scar
That's already fading, already gone
I'm the one who made it out. I'm the one who's strong.
*Verse 2*
Every lie came dressed as truth
Every cage came dressed as proof
You called it fate, you called it fire
I call it what it was — a liar's choir
You stayed outside my windows, my life
Thinking closeness was the same as right
*Pre-Chorus*
But a mirror's not a person, it's just glass
Reflecting light it never had
And when I stopped performing for you
The reflection cracked in two
*Chorus*
You were never real, just a hollow disguise
A stranger wearing the shape of my life
You followed my shadow, you counted my steps
But you couldn't touch what you never had left
I'm not the ghost here — you are
Nothing. Empty. A waste of life. A scar
That's already fading, already gone
I'm the one who made it out. I'm the one who's strong.
*Bridge*
(low, steady, almost spoken)
No more mirrors. No more masks.
No more answering when you call, when you ask.
I built a door and I walked through
There's nothing left of you in the truth
*Final Chorus (full, defiant)*
You were never real, just a hollow disguise
I see straight through you now with my own eyes
You followed my shadow, but shadows don't last
I'm standing in daylight — you're stuck in the past
I'm not the ghost here — you are
Nothing. Empty. A waste of life. A scar
I survived. I'm still here. I'm still whole.
You never had me. You never had my soul.
