Waking Now

[Intro] In the mirror, I see the cracks where trust once lay A quiet ash of promises you let slip away [Verse 1] I gave you my sunrise, my every fear and flaw Painted you a throne inside my heart’s bright core But your lies wore thin like thread on a fraying seam You spoke in sugar, but truth dissolved in dreams [Pre-Chorus] I followed shadows, chased a truth you wouldn’t show Now I hear the silence louder than the words you know [Chorus] I was a fool for loving you, but I’m waking now Taking back the pieces, lifting my face from the crowd Your promises vanished, but I’m finding myself somehow I won’t be fooled again, I’m breaking free, I’m breaking out [Verse 2] You stitched the days with flattery that never stayed I wore your mask of care, but it crumbled in the fray I traced the lies like coordinates to a door Opened my own strength, walked toward a brighter shore [Pre-Chorus] No more chasing bells that tolled with empty sounds I steady my steps, reclaiming solid ground [Chorus] I was a fool for loving you, but I’m waking now Taking back the pieces, lifting my face from the crowd Your promises vanished, but I’m finding myself somehow I won’t be fooled again, I’m breaking free, I’m breaking out [Bridge] If trust was a river, you dammed it with your regret But I’m learning to flow again, charting a wiser path yet [Chorus] I was a fool for loving you, but I’m waking now Taking back the pieces, lifting my face from the crowd Your promises vanished, but I’m finding myself somehow I won’t be fooled again, I’m breaking free, I’m breaking out [Outro] I walk away with a steadier flame, a quieter vow Not chasing your echo—I’m choosing me right now
