True Colors

**Title: True Colors**
*(Verse 1)*  
In the shadow of the barn, I used to feel alive,  
With the horses running wild, I thought I’d surely thrive.  
You wore a smile like sunshine, but it was just a disguise,  
I didn’t see the storm clouds hiding in your eyes.  
*(Pre-Chorus)*  
You’d whisper sweet nothings, then tear me apart,  
Every compliment, a dagger aimed straight at my heart.  
I toiled in the fields, hoping to be seen,  
But your world was just your horses, and I was caught in between.  
*(Chorus)*  
Oh, I see your true colors now, behind the painted lies,  
The warmth that once surrounded me, has turned to cold goodbyes.  
I gave you all my heart, but you just turned away,  
Now I’m breaking these chains, finally free today.  
*(Verse 2)*  
You’d praise the horses’ beauty, but I was just a ghost,  
Living in your shadow, I became what you’d hate most.  
I tried to make you happy, but your heart was never mine,  
Your love was just a flicker, a flame that wouldn’t shine.  
*(Pre-Chorus)*  
You built your world around them, left me lost and alone,  
But I found my strength in silence, a truth I’ve finally grown.  
Packed my bags for freedom, headed back to where I’m whole,  
Arkansas is calling, and I’m reclaiming my soul.  
*(Chorus)*  
Oh, I see your true colors now, behind the painted lies,  
The warmth that once surrounded me, has turned to cold goodbyes.  
I gave you all my heart, but you just turned away,  
Now I’m breaking these chains, finally free today.  
*(Bridge)*  
I’ll heal in the open fields, where the wildflowers bloom,  
No more storms in the silence, I’m escaping the gloom.  
Your reign of words can’t hold me, I’ll rise above the pain,  
With every step I take, I’m dancing in the rain.  
*(Chorus)*  
Oh, I see your true colors now, behind the painted lies,  
The warmth that once surrounded me, has turned to cold goodbyes.  
I gave you all my heart, but you just turned away,  
Now I’m breaking these chains, finally free today.  
*(Outro)*  
So here’s to my freedom, to the light shining bright,  
I’m rewriting my story, stepping into the fight.  
Your true colors are fading, like a whisper in the night,  
I’m reclaiming my spirit, and I’m ready to take flight.

Slower tempo, power ballad, rock, heavy metal, and very emotional.
