[Verse]
You wore your lies like a perfect disguise
I kissed the mask and ignored the cries
You held my hand
But it felt so cold
Still
I stayed and believed what I was told
[Verse 2]
You loved the thrill
Oh I was your pawn
Days turned to nights
But your heart was gone
I built a castle from your hollow stones
Blinded by a love I could never own
[Chorus]
I loved you more than the stars love the night
Even when your truth burned out all the light
You broke my heart
Lit it up in flames
And I whispered "I’d stay" as you cursed my name
[Verse 3]
I saw the shadows in your empty stare
But I played house like the love was there
Your betrayal cut deep like thorns on a rose
Still
I watered the bloom as my garden froze
[Bridge]
They said "wake up
Can’t you see?"
But your lies were the only dream for me
You gave me pain dressed up in bliss
I built my prison with every kiss
[Chorus]
I loved you more than the sun loves the day
Even as your darkness turned gold to gray
You stole my heart
Left it drenched in rain
And I whispered "I’ll stay" through the scarlet pain
