Echoes of Broken Trust

Lyrics

[INTRO] We were kids on a rooftop, the stars our only audience, Hands clasped tight in the dark, we said we’d never falter. [VERSE 1] We had all those nights, all those inside jokes, Swore we’d stay close when the whole world broke. I told you my secrets, you knew my fears, Never thought the one I trusted would disappear. You sat right beside me, laughing in my face, While behind my back you were taking my place. I defended your name when they called you fake, Turns out I was defending a mistake. [CHORUS] Thought you were my brother, never thought you'd change, Had your back through everything, through all the highs and ranges. Now I hear the words you said when you thought I’d never know, Crazy how my best friend could become someone I don’t know. [VERSE 2] I would’ve taken every hit for you, you couldn’t even keep it real, Losing you was painful, but losing trust was worse to feel. Remember when we said, “No matter what, we’re good,” Guess forever only meant it when you understood. You chose a crowd over someone who was there, Then acted like you never really cared. [BRIDGE] Every laugh feels like a lie, Every promise a hidden goodbye. I trace the cracks in the walls we built, Hoping some light can still sift through the guilt. [CHORUS] Thought you were my brother, never thought you'd change, Had your back through everything, through all the highs and ranges. Now I hear the words you said when you thought I’d never know, Crazy how my best friend could become someone I don’t know. [HOOK] I’m standing on the edge of what we used to be, Your shadow still lingers in the corners of this empty city. [OUTRO] We’re just echoes in the night, trying to hold onto a line, Saying goodbye to the truth that we left behind.
