Betrayal

كلمات الأغنية

**[Verse 1]** I heard the silence in your answers, Long before I knew the truth. You were standing right beside me, While your heart was somewhere new. Every promise had an echo, Every kiss became a lie, And I kept defending shadows While you watched me wonder why. **[Pre-Chorus]** I gave you every reason To believe that I would stay, But you were busy building exits While I begged you not to change. **[Chorus]** You were the knife you hid behind your smile, Cutting deeper all the while. I gave you trust, you gave me doubt, Then turned around and shut me out. And I still hear every word you said Running circles through my head. You didn’t break me in one night— You killed the truth one lie at a time. **[Verse 2]** There were fingerprints of strangers On the life we called our own, Little pieces out of place there, Little signs I should have known. But love can make a fool believe What the heart is scared to lose, So I kept choosing your excuses While you kept choosing what you’d do. **[Pre-Chorus]** Now the pictures on the table Feel like evidence to me, Of two people standing closely Who were never what they seemed. **[Chorus]** You were the knife you hid behind your smile, Cutting deeper all the while. I gave you trust, you gave me doubt, Then turned around and shut me out. And I still hear every word you said Running circles through my head. You didn’t break me in one night— You killed the truth one lie at a time. **[Bridge] [quiet, tense]** Was I just a place to land Until something better came? Was I only there to carry All the weight and all the blame? I would have faced the worst beside you, I would have walked through any flame. But you let me fight for both of us While you forgot my name. **[Drum Break] [Build]** **[Final Chorus]** You were the knife you hid behind your smile, But I can finally see it now. I gave you love without a shield, You gave me wounds that wouldn’t heal. But every scar will testify, I survived what you denied. You thought betrayal made me weak— Now your memory means nothing to me. No, you didn’t end my life— You only ended yours in mine. **[Outro]** One lie at a time... One lie at a time... You disappeared One lie at a time.
