[Verse]
You painted skies with shades of gray
Built a house with walls of fray
You whispered dreams they felt brand new
But deep inside it was never you
[Pre-Chorus]
Fast hearts beat like city lights
Shadows breaking in the night
Truth was hiding in plain view
I always knew it was never you
[Chorus]
You’re the echoes in my brain
All the faces look the same
Cigarette smoke in the blue
I’m alive but it was never you
[Verse 2]
Diamonds fake they test like dust
Broken crowns they start to rust
Every step I fell right through
With every fall it was never you
[Bridge]
Lightning cracks I see the frame
Your shadow’s caught it knows my name
But when it fades I break in two
A haunting truth it was never you
[Chorus]
You’re the echoes in my brain
All the faces look the same
Cigarette smoke in the blue
I’m alive but it was never you
