I know you better

I already knew you’d find someone new

Some fool you’re trying to sell the truth to

That you and I are buried in the past

That you’re better off, and this love won’t last

You say you’re smiling with him by your side

But I see the doubt you’re trying to hide

Don’t act like I’m the one you had to lose

I’ve moved on clean—no time for your excuse

---

You post your smiles like they’re proof you’re healed

But I know the silence you never reveal

You laugh too loud, you drink too fast

Trying to outrun a love that lasts

You tell your friends you’re doing fine

But I see the cracks between each line

You’re chasing peace in someone new

But peace don’t come when it ain’t true

---

Who do you think you’re gonna deceive?

You know I’m the part you still believe

You’re with him just to feel safe and warm

Not to face the fact you got it wrong

Tell him I was better, heart and soul

Tell him you’re not faithful, not in full

I’ll always fill that space you try to mask

While you pretend I’m gone—and drink from your flask

---

You crave the spark, but it’s gone cold

You feel the void that he can’t hold

You settle in a love that’s just a name

And deep down, you know it’s not the same

---

I gave you truth, you gave me doubt

Now you’re with him, just riding it out

You wear his ring, but not his name

You play the part, but feel the shame

I moved on clean, no looking back

You’re still pretending, keeping track

Of every time I cross your mind

But I’m not yours, not this time

---

Who do you think you’re gonna deceive?

You know I’m the part you still believe

You’re with him just to feel safe and warm

Not to face the fact you got it wrong

Tell him I was better, heart and soul

Tell him you’re not faithful, not in full

I’ll always fill that space you try to mask

While you pretend I’m gone—and drink from your flask

[Bridge] (stripped down—just guitar and voice)

So sip your comfort, play your role

Hide the ache that eats your soul

I was the one you couldn’t replace

Now you wear regret like it’s laced in grace

---

You fake the healing, play the part

But I still echo in your heart

You lost the one who saw you clear

Now all that’s left is what you fear

So keep your comfort, keep your lie

Keep chasing peace that won’t reply

I was the truth you couldn’t face

Now you’re alone in your own embrace
