False Light

[Intro] Soft as rain, a hidden blade in bloom Whispers sweet, but the truth is room by room [Verse 1] You wore a smile like a doorway to light I walked through, blind, chasing the velvet night Promises carved in sugar, fading to dust Love dressed in perfume, built on rust [Pre-Chorus] But the hands you held were hollow to the touch The words you spoke never meant that much [Chorus] If your love is a lie, I’m learning to breathe without you If truth is a scar, I’ll let the sunlight see through I’ll pick up the pieces you left on the floor And wonder why I believed in something no longer sure [Verse 2] You painted futures with a silver tongue I counted every heartbeat on the tongue that stung Feigned tenderness like a practiced art A masquerade of longing, a thief in my heart [Pre-Chorus] The mirror knows what your mirror kept inside Two faces dancing where trust used to reside [Chorus] If your love is a lie, I’m learning to breathe without you If truth is a scar, I’ll let the sunlight see through I’ll pick up the pieces you left on the floor And wonder why I believed in something no longer sure [Bridge] How do you mend a heart that’s learned to doubt? When every kiss echoed with a shadowed shout I’m breaking the pattern, letting the curtain fall Seeking a love that’s honest, standing tall [Chorus] If your love is a lie, I’m learning to breathe without you If truth is a scar, I’ll let the sunlight see through I’ll pick up the pieces you left on the floor And wonder why I believed in something no longer sure [Outro] The lie unwinds, a dawn without your name I’m finding a love that’s patient, true, and flame-free And in the quiet, I’ll relearn the way to claim A heart that won’t be fooled by your deceitful flame
