What was real

Lyrics

WHAT WAS REAL Verse 1 You held me like you meant it, You looked into my eyes, Said I was your forever, While you were living lies. I gave you every heartbeat, Every piece I had to give, But somewhere in your silence I forgot how to believe. Pre-Chorus Was I loving you alone? Was your heart already gone? Tell me, when you said my name, Did you ever feel the same? Chorus Was it love, or was it only a beautiful lie? Did you hold me just to keep me by your side? I was drowning in forever, You were only passing through. Now I'm left with all these questions And a heart that still wants you. If everything we had was never true… Tell me, what was real about you? Verse 2 I remember all your promises, Like scars beneath my skin, Every “I will never leave you,” Every time you pulled me in. I defended every weakness, I believed your every word, While the truth was standing quietly Behind everything I heard. Pre-Chorus Did you love the way I loved? Did you need me, or just need someone? When you whispered, “Don't let go,” Were you scared to be alone? Chorus Was it love, or was it only a beautiful lie? Did you hold me just to keep me by your side? I was drowning in forever, You were only passing through. Now I'm left with all these questions And a heart that still wants you. If everything we had was never true… Tell me, what was real about you? Bridge — emotional build I would've died to save us, You wouldn't fight to stay. I was building us a future, You were already walking away. And the cruelest part of losing you Is knowing I was true… I gave you something sacred, And you gave me something you could use. Breakdown — soft, almost whispered Maybe I wasn't hard to love… Maybe you just didn't know how. Maybe I wasn't asking for too much… Maybe you just couldn't give it now. Final Chorus — powerful Was it love, or was it only a beautiful lie? All those nights, all those tears, all those goodbyes… I was giving you my whole soul, You were giving me a disguise. And I won't spend another lifetime Trying to make your darkness mine. If everything we had was never true… Then the only thing that's real… is that I'm finally leaving you. Outro — fragile I loved you… I know I did. Maybe that's what hurts the most. You were never what I thought you were… But I was real. I was real.
