Cold Nights, Warm Lies

Verse 1

Late night, scrolling through the memories on my phone,

you said you’d ride for me, but now I’m riding all alone.

City lights reflecting off the feelings that I hid,

every message that I typed, yeah, I swear I almost sent.

You know I gave you everything I had,

but you were playing both sides, that’s a fact.

Still I keep your name inside my breath,

I hate that you the one I can’t forget.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been trying to move on,

but the past keep calling my phone.

Every time I think I’m gone,

your ghost says I’m wrong.

⸻

Chorus (Hook)

These cold nights, warm lies,

got me picking up the pieces of my life.

Yeah, you said “forever”, but forever wasn’t right.

Now I’m in the dark still searching for the light.

Cold nights, warm lies —

why you always gotta play both sides?

You left me here trying to read your signs,

but you were never mine.

⸻

Verse 2

Running through the city with a heart that’s on decline,

your perfume on my hoodie got me trapped inside my mind.

I’ve been drowning in the noise, tryna silence every thought,

but every time I close my eyes, I hear the things you never taught.

I took the blame for the things you did,

you were hiding every truth like a kid.

I was loyal, you were out for a win —

crazy how the good guy never wins.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been trying to move on,

but the past keep calling my phone.

Every time I think I’m gone,

your ghost says I’m wrong.

⸻

Chorus (Hook)

These cold nights, warm lies,

got me picking up the pieces of my life.

Yeah, you said “forever”, but forever wasn’t right.

Now I’m in the dark still searching for the light.

Cold nights, warm lies —

why you always gotta play both sides?

You left me here trying to read your signs,

but you were never mine.

⸻

Bridge (melodic, soft Drake vibe)

And I don’t wanna hate you,

but you make it kinda easy when you do the things you do.

Tell me why I stayed through

all the moments when you broke me just to see me push through.

⸻

Final Chorus

Cold nights, warm lies…

I’m done trying to justify.

You were nothing but a lullaby —

sweet words, then goodbye.

Cold nights, warm lies.
