🎤 [Intro – 4 Bars, slow and eerie]
🎵
Said you'd stay when the skies turned red…
Now I lie with your ghost in an empty bed
Words like silk, but your truth had thorns
You gave me a hug that felt like a storm…
🎵

🎤 [Verse 1 – 8 Bars]
🎵
You said I was the calm in your wild nights
But your peace wore heels and packed fights
I held on tight to the way you smiled
But your eyes were a road I ain’t walked in miles
We carved forever in a backseat sigh
Now I trace it alone while the echoes lie
You swore by the stars you’d never roam
But the map in your heart led anywhere but home
🎵

🎤 [Chorus – 8 Bars, soaring melody with pain beneath]
🎵
You made barbed wire promises, wrapped ‘em in grace
Told me forever with a tear on your face
I bled for the love you said was mine
Now I bandage memories just to feel fine
Your voice was a hymn I played too loud
Now I pray in silence just to block it out
You called it love, but it tore like seams
Barbed wire promises haunt my dreams
🎵

🎤 [Verse 2 – 8 Bars]
🎵
You moved on like a fire through corn
Quick to burn and never mourn
I stayed behind in the ash and smoke
Chokin’ on the lies in the notes you wrote
You kissed my pain like it made you strong
But every touch just felt so wrong
Now I see the truth through this whiskey glass
Barbed wire don’t bend, it just cuts fast
🎵

🎤 [Bridge – 4 Bars, quiet harmony or falsetto with acoustic tone]
🎵
You left me tied to what we said
Words don’t hold when the soul goes dead
If I could forget the way you swore
I’d leave that promise at the door
🎵
---
🎤 [Final Chorus – 8 Bars, heavier emotion]
🎵
You made barbed wire promises, dressed ‘em in white
Gave me your vows under broken light
I held on like it would keep me whole
Now I’m patched with pain and a leakin’ soul
You called it love, but you walked through flames
Left me holdin' all the blame
If Heaven heard what I used to believe…
Even angels would cry for me
