Lyrics
My heart was the fortress, but you breached the gate
Left me standing in the pieces of a love turned to hate
I believed in a story that never could last
Built a future from the remnants of a crumbling past
You promised forever, but it slipped through the cracks
Fading echoes of devotion, now it's all turning black
Thought love was diamond-hard, unbreakable
But your words like hammers fell, undeniable
I once stood tall, so fearless and erect
Now I'm just a silhouette, what did you expect?
Eyes once bright, now dim reflections at best
And scars now wear your face
What did you expect?
What did you expect?
If you can't respect, then just disconnect
And if it's all a jest, watch me as I defect
I am shattered glass, won't fit in your frame
You lit the fuse, I brace for the crash
Threw our moments into the ash
On a shelf, our pictures fell
Just empty frames, love's hollow shell
You spun lies, a toxic spiral
In this game, there's no revival
You took the trust, spun it into lies
Now I'm tearing through the webs you devise
You played your part in a tragic masquerade
Left nothing behind but a heart betrayed
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll rise from these ruins, escape from your shade
Goodbye to the charade, the price has been paid
No more falling for your sweet deceit (no more lies)
In the shattered mirrors, I'm now complete (I've found my peace)
From your chains, I claim my sweet release, (breaking free)
In the rhythm of my heartbeat, my soul's retreat (my steady beat)[Chorus]
So sing our swan song, it's over, we're done (say goodbye)
I'm walking away from the smoking gun (leave the past behind)
[Verse 3]
You had the stage, played your performance well
But the curtain's calling, end of your spell
I took the make-up off, saw the masquerade
You're just a phantom now, in the light of day
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch me as I rebuild, stronger than before (rising up)
A Phoenix from the lies, I won't be your encore (flying high)
