Lyrics

We used to talk like dreams were free,
you said you’d always stand by me.
But every word was just a play,
you left me quiet, walked away.
You loved the chaos, loved the show,
but never cared how deep it goes.
I learned the truth in crowded rooms—
you only bloom when someone wounds.
They laugh when I fall,
they cheer when I cry.
It’s strange how betrayal
can feel like goodbye.
They smile when I break,
they clap when I bleed.
They love my pain,
they feed their need.
Fake hugs, sharp teeth,
sweet words, deceit—
I learned that “friends”
just watch you sink.
You liked my tears, they made you shine,
you took my hurt and called it mine.
I gave you truth, you sold it cheap,
you called me close, then cut me deep.
I kept your secrets, held your hand,
but you were gone before I could stand.
Now every text feels like a ghost,
I think you loved me when I broke.
They say they care,
they say they know—
but love like that
don’t ever grow.
They smile when I break,
they clap when I bleed.
They love my pain,
they feed their need.
Fake hugs, sharp teeth,
sweet words, deceit—
I learned that “friends”
just watch you sink.
Don’t call me kind,
don’t call me weak,
your silence cuts
the loudest deep.
I found myself
in all your lies—
I love the way
your halo dies.
 
So here’s to the ones who said they’d stay,
but left the moment I lost my way.
No names, no blame, just clarity—
you were never friends… just reality.
