Verse 1
We used to talk like we had time,
Laughing like the world was ours.
You knew my fears, I knew your scars,
We called it trust, we called it ours.
But somewhere in the quiet space
Between what’s right and what was said,
You chose a road I wouldn’t take
And left me standing in your mess.
Pre-Chorus
I replay every word, every sign,
Wondering when you crossed that line.
Chorus
I didn’t see the knife,
Didn’t feel it slide,
Didn’t think you’d be the one
Standing on the other side.
You smiled like a friend,
But you spoke like an enemy,
Guess betrayal hits the hardest
When it comes from family.
Verse 2
You said it was just “doing right,”
Just business, nothing personal.
But loyalty ain’t situational
When you know what it costs my soul.
I would’ve given you the chance
If you’d just pulled me aside,
But you chose the room without me in it
And let the truth learn how to hide.
Pre-Chorus
Now silence says what words won’t say,
Some bridges burn without a flame.
Chorus
I didn’t see the knife,
Didn’t feel it slide,
Didn’t think you’d be the one
Standing on the other side.
You smiled like a friend,
But you spoke like an enemy,
Guess betrayal hits the hardest
When it comes from family.
Bridge
I’m not angry like I was before,
I’m just clearer than I’ve ever been.
Some people aren’t meant to walk with you,
They’re just lessons wearing skin.
I won’t drag your name through the dirt,
I’ll just let the distance speak,
Peace costs less than holding on
To what you took from me.
Breakdown
I trusted you with open hands,
You counted coins behind my back.
I lost a friend, you lost my faith—
Tell me which one’s harder to get back.
Final Chorus
Now I see the knife,
I see the signs,
I see who you were
When the pressure climbed.
I’ll heal, I’ll rise,
I’ll walk away clean,
But I’ll never forget the truth
Of who you chose to be.
Outro
Yeah, I lost you, that part’s true,
But I found out who I am without you.
