Shattered Veneer

(Verse 1)
I used to see you through the perfect lens,
Every word you spoke, I thought it made sense.
You had the charm, you had the grace,
A flawless smile upon your face.
But something’s changed, the light’s grown dim,
And now I’m seeing who’s been hiding within.
The cracks are showing, the mask’s come off,
I finally see what I’ve been too blind to spot.

(Pre-Chorus)
You built a world out of lies so sweet,
But now I’m standing on broken feet,
All those stories you sold so well,
Now I’m living in the truth you can’t dispel.

(Chorus)
Your shattered veneer, it’s all falling down,
The golden glow turns to a ghost of a crown.
The perfect image I once adored,
Now a hollow shell that I can’t ignore.
The truth’s out now, and I can’t pretend,
The dream’s been broken, there’s no going back again.

(Verse 2)
I saw the facade, the glitter, the shine,
But underneath it, you were never mine.
You wore your lies like a second skin,
Convincing everyone you were perfect within.
I gave you trust, I gave you my heart,
Now I see it was all just a part,
Of a game you played so effortlessly,
But the truth is loud, and it’s setting me free.

(Pre-Chorus)
You built a world out of lies so sweet,
But now I’m standing on broken feet,
All those stories you sold so well,
Now I’m living in the truth you can’t dispel.

(Bridge)
I used to think you were untouchable,
A king in a castle, untouchable.
But now I see the cracks in the stone,
And I’m better off here, standing alone.
The truth cuts deep, but it’s setting me free,
I see you now, and you’re nothing to me.

(Outro)
No more illusions, no more disguise,
I see the truth in your empty eyes.
Your shattered veneer, I’m walking away,
And I’ll never look back, not today.
