Mask

We used to laugh like it was real love

Secrets whispered, I thought you were blood

But now I see the cracks in the trust

You were just playin’ me, callin’ it "us"

Smiles wide, but your shade ran deep

Talkin’ 'bout me when I was asleep

You loved the shine when it came from me

But hated it when I got too free

Fake friends wear real good masks

But the truth don’t hide, it always cracks

You showed your colors, black and gray

Now I walk my path, no time to stay

I gave you love, you gave me lies

Now I see clear with open eyes

No more chances, no amends

I’m done with love from fake-ass friends

You were there when the drinks poured out

But gone when the storm rolled loud

Only loyal when it served your needs

Now your silence feels like peace to me

Took my wins like they were yours

But left me dry when I needed more

Jealousy dressed up in cheers

But real don’t fade — and fake disappears

Fake friends wear real good masks

But the truth don’t hide, it always cracks

You showed your colors, black and gray

Now I walk my path, no time to stay

I gave you love, you gave me lies

Now I see clear with open eyes

No more chances, no amends

I’m done with love from fake-ass friends

Lesson learned, I keep my circle tight

Real ones glow, even in the night

No more guessing, I see through the fog

I’m better solo than caught in the smog

So raise a glass to the ones who left

You cleared the space for what comes next

I don’t hate you, I’m just free

Your mask fell — now I can breathe
