Fake Love

You gave me words like fragile glass,

But they carried no fire inside.

A smile that broke, a shadow that passed,

Truth was the place you tried to hide.

Fake love has a price I can’t ignore,

Shattered dreams across the floor.

I paid with my heart, I paid with my soul,

For illusions that left me cold.

You painted skies with borrowed light,

But the sun was only a sign.

I searched for spring in your endless night,

And found only fear in time.

Fake love has a price I can’t ignore,

Shattered dreams across the floor.

I paid with my heart, I paid with my soul,

For illusions that left me cold.

Sweet words dripping like honey,

But bitterness lived in their core.

I learned not to chase the shadows,

That lead to a locked, empty door.

Fake love is a debt we all must pay,

A toll for the lies we obey.

I’ll leave this sorrow behind,

And seek the morning light to stay.
