[Intro – Whispered, like reading a letter aloud]
I thought I was the angel.
But maybe I was just the fire in disguise.
---
[Verse 1]
I swore I loved you purely / But maybe love can rot
I wore white in my mind / But my thoughts were not
I blamed your silence / While I built my walls
Told myself I gave it all…
But did I ever fall?
---
[Pre-Chorus]
You kissed me like salvation
But I never felt clean
Maybe we were both sinners
Pretending to believe
---
[Hook]
Maybe I was heaven in reverse
A blessing laced with a quiet curse
I held you close but pulled you down
Said "forever" just to watch you drown
Loved you so deep it turned to worse
Maybe I was heaven…
In reverse
---
[Verse 2]
I wanted to be your light / But needed you to chase me
Said I was loyal / While testing who would break me
I made you feel like you had to prove
That loving me meant losing you
I told myself I stayed too long
But maybe I fed the flame all wrong
---
[Pre-Chorus]
We dressed it up in poetry
But lived it like a war
We played the roles perfectly
Then forgot what love was for
---
[Hook]
Maybe I was heaven in reverse
The angel with the hidden thirst
I kissed you soft, then made you beg
Wrote "I love you" with a jagged edge
I swore I’d save you — left you cursed
Maybe I was heaven…
In reverse
---
[Bridge – Instrumental drop, voice raw]
If I could go back, I’d love you less perfectly
More honestly
No slow destruction disguised as beauty
No halo made of gasoline
---
[Final Hook – Soaring strings, layered harmonies]
Maybe I was heaven in reverse
The ache you never saw coming first
You gave me peace — I gave you ache
You gave your truth — I gave you breaks
And still, I wonder which was worse...
To lose you
Or be heaven
In reverse
