Thieves Of More Than Money

[Verse 1]
Came with a smile
Soft hands
Soft words
Said all the right things
Till they sounded like truth
They answered my doubts
Before I could speak
Read every fear
Right off of my face
[Chorus]
Scammers ain’t just taking money
They’re stealing what I can’t replace
They pick the lock on my believing
Walk right into my sacred space
They rob my trust
My hope
My faith
Leave me counting pieces on the floor
Scammers ain’t just taking money
They make me fear my own heart more
[Verse 2]
They bless every lie
With practiced grace
Quote every promise
They never mean to keep
They hunt for the kind
The tired
The lost
Call it “a chance”
But I’m the one they cost
[Chorus]
Scammers ain’t just taking money
They’re stealing what I can’t replace
They pick the lock on my believing
Walk right into my sacred space
They rob my trust
My hope
My faith
Leave me counting pieces on the floor
Scammers ain’t just taking money
They make me fear my own heart more
[Bridge]
Who do you trust
When “I’m here to help” burns?
How do you heal
When every kindness hurts?
They pray on the innocent
Then preach that we’re to blame
But they can’t cash in forever
On all this secret shame (no way)
[Chorus]
Scammers ain’t just taking money
They’re stealing what I can’t replace
They pick the lock on my believing
Walk right into my sacred space
They rob my trust
My hope
My faith
Leave me sweeping ruins by the door
Scammers ain’t just taking money
They make me fear my own heart more

Dark, midtempo pop with male vocals over pulsing synth bass and tight drums; verses stay tense and close-mic’d, almost spoken, with sparse piano stabs, then chorus blooms into wide pads and stacked harmonies. Subtle distorted guitars shadow the melody in the hook, and the bridge dips into a moody breakdown with filtered drums before a final, bigger chorus.
