A Hoax

(VERSE 1)
I’m laying here in my bed
Running those three words you used to say
In my head
I thought it was all just a nightmare
That would disappear once I woke
But suddenly I realized 
it was real
And I started to choke

(Loop)
There’s a knot inside my throat
Holding back the tears, 
holding back the smoke
And all of these emotions 
come rushing back to me
How could you already move on?

(CHORUS)
You said I was your forever
You said I was the one you wanted to marry
Now I’m looking you up on social media
Seeing pictures of you and another woman, 
moving on so easily
Yeah, I’ve realized that was all a hoax
A beautiful, lying hoax.

(Verse 2)
I’m scrolling through the memories
Trying to find the moment that it all went wrong
Was it all a performance?
Did you know this was a sad song?
I’m drowning in the silence of this room
While you’re dancing in the light

(CHORUS)
'Cause You said I was your forever
You said I was the one you wanted to marry
Now I’m looking you up on social media
Seeing pictures of you and another woman, 
moving on so easily
Yeah, I’ve realized that was all a hoax
A beautiful, lying hoax.

(BRIDGE)
How do I untangle this knot in my throat?
How do I survive when you let the ship sink?
You were my anchor, now I’m just a ghost
Just a ghost in your bed...

(LOOP)
I’m still laying here in my bed
Running those three words you used to say
In my head...

(CHORUS)
You said I was your forever
You said I was the one you wanted to marry
Now I’m looking you up on social media
Seeing pictures of you and another woman, 
moving on so easily
Yeah, I’ve realized that was all a hoax
A beautiful, lying hoax.

It was just a hoax.
(Whispered)
A beautiful, lying hoax.
