I'm done playing under your name

Lyrics

[short intro)

[Verse 1]
Your words were shooting stars,
A fire burning out too fast.
Promises you couldn’t even keep,
Now I’m haunted by the ash.
You played the saint, always looking pure,
But you only cared for your parade.

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you wanted something real,
But you buried me.
A game where I’m always lost,
While you just leave out my name.

[Chorus]
Everything must spin around you,
Tales left unfinished on the shelf.
I was just a pretty game to you,
But I’m done playing under your name.

[Verse 2]
Your words, just a smoke screen,
While I waited for something clean.
What a cute smile, another disguise,
Now I see through all your lies.
You play like it’s a reckless dance,
But I’m not your fucking second chance.

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you wanted something real,
But you buried me.
A game where I’m always lost,
While you just leave out my name.

[Chorus]
Everything must spin around you,
Tales left unfinished on the shelf.
I was just a pretty game to you,
But I’m done playing under your name.

[Bridge]
Don’t worry, I won’t play along,
This kind of game just feels so wrong.
Your jarred promises, empty and tame,
You burned me once, but not again.
I’m taking back the flame.

[Short solo]

[Chorus]
Everything must spin around you,
Tales left unfinished on the shelf.
I was just a pretty game to you,
But I’m done playing under your name.

[Outro]
You look away, but you’re running blind,
Chasing love you’ll never find.
One day the mirror will make it clear,
The ghost you are is all you’ll hear.
