Queen of Lies

This tale is hard to tell, but it's mine to share,

A shadowed heart broke by a love that's rare.

Saw the mask that they wear, twisting all the blame,

In a game of pretense, they play with my name.

You said I was cruel, but who wore the scars?

Behind closed doors, I knew where you are.

You painted the picture, while I faced the pain,

Now you're out in the open, making me the stain.

I begged you for clarity, I begged you for grace,

But trapped in your story, I'm lost in this place.

And while I'm out working, you’re lost in the dream,

This truth feels so heavy, it tears at the seam.

You’re the queen of the lies, but I'm breaking free,

This truth is my armor, you won't silence me.

Look into the mirror, see the face of your game,

When you're casting your shadows, I'm stepping out of shame.

You claim to be dying, but you're just standing still,

Scaring off friends with your fabricated chill.

I gave you my all, threw my heart in the ring,

While you hid behind curtains, I was searching for wings.

Now your friends are confused, they don't see the truth,

Taking your side while I'm losing my youth.

But I won't be a whisper in your tangled web,

I’ve come through the darkness, I’ll break your thread.

You’re the queen of the lies, but I'm breaking free,

This truth is my armor, you won't silence me.

Look into the mirror, see the face of your game,

When you're casting your shadows, I'm stepping out of shame.

I stand in the light, I’ll reclaim what's mine,

No more borrowing pain, no more toeing your line.

Each step that I take, lifting weight from my soul,

This heart's made of fire, I'll regain control.

So here’s to the strength in the stories we tell,

In the end it's the truth that will carry us well.

You can play all your parts, but the truth will ignite,

From the ashes I'll rise, you won't dim my light.
