Verse 1
You knew the stories no one else could hear,
You knew my hopes, you knew my fears.
We built our trust one day at a time,
Never thought you'd cross that line.
You smiled while the cracks grew deep,
Made promises you couldn't keep.
I called you family through it all,
You watched and waited for me to fall.
Pre-Chorus
The deepest wounds don't come from strangers.
They come from hands you used to hold.
I never thought the truth would hurt
More than the lies you told.
Chorus
You were the knife you chose to hide,
Right beside me the whole damn time.
I fought for us while you played both sides,
Leaving nothing but silence behind.
You stole the trust, not just the years,
Turned my strength into my tears.
Now your name is just a lesson I'll survive—
Some scars remind you who's real in your life.
Verse 2
The echoes fade, but I remember
Every broken word you left behind.
Loyalty was never yours to give;
I was the only one who tried.
I won't carry all your blame,
Or let your choices shape my name.
The road gets lighter every mile,
And I can finally face tomorrow with a smile.
Bridge
One day you'll look where I used to stand,
And wonder why I never came back.
Trust is a bridge built over years,
Destroyed in moments that you can't take back.
Final Chorus
You were the knife you chose to hide,
But you couldn't steal what's still alive.
You broke the bond, not who I am;
I'm stronger now than your betrayal planned.
The fire you lit became my light,
Guiding me through the darkest nights.
You lost a friend who would have stayed—
I found the strength to walk away.
Outro
Some people leave.
Some people change.
But the ones who betray you
Never deserve your place again.
