Lyrics

I was blind to the signs
Thought you were mine (Yeah)
Now the shine turns to rust
Guess I wasted time (Uh)
You already changed my trust
Before I knew
You already broke that bond
Now I'm through with you
Met you on a night when my guard was low (Yeah)
Swore you only wanted something slow (Uh)
But you hid a side, one I didn't know (Damn)
Sharing pieces of yourself with a hundred souls (Yeah)
I believed in the words that you used to say
While you tangled up with others in a careless way
Now my pride feels small, can't look at me
Tarnish in my thoughts, girl, you let it be (Yeah)
Yeah, I cursed myself for the things I missed
For the nights I held on, for the chance I kissed
Now I'm staring at the truth that I can't deny
The weight of your lies still pressing my mind (Uh)
You already changed my trust
Before I knew
You already broke that bond
Now I'm through with you
Holding hope
Holding hope
Tighter
But you betray
You stray from me
Holding hope
Holding hope
Tighter
Why'd you play me?
Different faces, different names, same disguise (Yeah)
You were laughing in the back while you told me lies (Uh)
Said it's me and you, but it's never true (Damn)
Now my patience gone, nothing left to do (Yeah)
I regret the nights that I stayed awake
Dreamin' of a future we would never make
Now I hate the way that I let this slide
Your touch was fake, but I paid that price (Uh)
All the stories that you spread, I don't care no more
All the places that you go, I won't wait at the door
Disappointed in myself 'cause I played that role
Trust burnt out, nothing left to hold (Yeah)
Yeah, you were never mine, just a vacant smile (Yeah)
Used my love as a game just to pass the while (Uh)
Now the ring in my chest is a constant sting (Damn)
Guess the shine of the gold never meant a thing (Yeah)
Quit this act, I can't stand what I turned into
Doubting all my worth 'cause I trusted you
Tryna piece myself back, running out of time
(I'm tryna escape this!)
But the fault's still mine
Every step I took only fed your flame
Now the ash on my hands carries all your name
You don't need me, girl, you never did care
I'm done with the weight that I used to bear
You already changed my trust
Before I knew
You already broke that bond
Now I'm through with you
All the shine we had, now it fades to grey (Yeah)
Tarnish on my heart, can't be washed away (Uh)
