[Verse 1]
Cupid shooting blanks, the bowstring snapped,
Heart stitched with thread, but the seamline trapped.
Chasing shadows, neon signs hum in the night,
Empty bottles preach sermons under flickering light.
I swiped right on forever, but forever ghosted,
Love a mirage, every promise toasted.
[Chorus]
Love ain’t real, just a scam they sell,
A hollow echo in a wishing well.
Built my hopes on sand, it slipped, it fell,
Love ain’t real, it’s a lie we tell.
[Verse 2]
Tinder matches, but the fire won’t spark,
DMs dry like the Mojave after dark.
You said "forever," but your clock ran out,
Words sound sweet 'til the meaning's in doubt.
I kissed the wind, it whispered back lies,
Chased a dream, but the dream don’t reply.
[Bridge]
Fools buy roses, fools buy rings,
Fools write ballads for broken strings.
Hearts bleed ink, poets drown in the spill,
If love’s a drug, then I’m poppin' placebo pills.
[Chorus]
Love ain’t real, just a scam they sell,
A hollow echo in a wishing well.
Built my hopes on sand, it slipped, it fell,
Love ain’t real, it’s a lie we tell.
[Outro]
Bitter truths wrapped in candy-coated seals,
Bruised by a fantasy that never heals.
Love ain’t a bond, it’s a paper deal,
Signed in tears, stamped unreal.
