[Intro]
Thought I was making a move, playing the game, a secret few knew
Foolish dreams, come and gone, emptiness where love once grew
[Verse 1]
I stepped in shadows, chasing a thrill, thinking I was doing right
Caught up in the moment, blinded by greed, lost in the fight
He was just a pawn, I was the queen, in a game I thought I’d win
Now I stand here broken, with nothing left, all my sins wearing thin
[Pre-Chorus]
All I wanted was fortune and fame, but I paid with my soul
Broke the bonds that held me close, now I’m left so cold
[Chorus]
Greed’s a lonely game, and I lost it all
Friends and family, gone just like a fall
Thought I was climbing high, but I hit the ground
Now I’m just a lonely shadow, without a sound
[Bridge]
Came with a promise, left with regret
Thought I could have it all, but I can’t forget
The price I paid for a fleeting gain
Lost love’s warmth, drowned in pain
[Outro]
Lesson learned too late, in the mirror I see
Greed’s the thief that stole the best of me
Now I walk this empty road, all alone in winds that cry
Hoping someday I might find a way to reconcile
[Feelings of regret, loss, and reflection continue to wash over in this final verse, emphasizing the personal toll of greed and betrayal.]
