Love Was a Lie

Love Was a Lie
(Verse 1)
I held you close, I whispered sweet,
Told you the things you wanted to believe.
I made you feel like you were the one,
But deep inside, I knew it was all undone.
I wore the mask, I played the game,
Pretended to feel, but it wasn’t the same.
I built you up just to watch you fall,
And now I’m staring at the wreck of it all.
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought I could fake it, thought I could pretend,
But the truth came crashing in the end.
I tried to love, but it was a lie,
A hollow story, a tear-filled disguise.
(Chorus)
Love was a lie, I couldn’t see,
How I strung you along, blind to the truth in me.
I gave you the words, but not the heart,
I told you we’d never be apart.
But love was a lie, I see it clear,
The truth is ugly, but now it’s here.
I led you on, I made you believe,
But love was a lie, and I deceived.
(Verse 2)
I played the part, I said what was right,
But the fire was gone, the spark wasn’t bright.
You gave me your heart, but I threw it away,
Now I’m left with the mess of the games I played.
I led you to think we had something real,
But I was only pretending to feel.
Now you’re gone, and I’m left to cry,
With nothing but the truth, no more alibis.
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought I could fake it, thought I could pretend,
But the truth came crashing in the end.
I tried to love, but it was a lie,
A hollow story, a tear-filled disguise.
(Chorus)
Love was a lie, I couldn’t see,
How I strung you along, blind to the truth in me.
I gave you the words, but not the heart,
I told you we’d never be apart.
But love was a lie, I see it clear,
The truth is ugly, but now it’s here.
I led you on, I made you believe,
But love was a lie, and I deceived.
(Bridge)
I never meant to hurt you, but I did,
I never meant to break what we had, but I hid.
Now all that’s left is this painful truth,
That I never loved you, not like I should’ve, too.
(Chorus)
Love was a lie, I couldn’t see,
How I strung you along, blind to the truth in me.
I gave you the words, but not the heart,
I told you we’d never be apart.
But love was a lie, I see it clear,
The truth is ugly, but now it’s here.
I led you on, I made you believe,
But love was a lie, and I deceived.
(Outro)
Love was a lie, and now you know,
The mask is off, the truth can show.
I never loved you, not the way you deserved,
I’m sorry for the pain, the trust I swerved.
Love was a lie, and I’ve paid the price,
I’ve lost your love, and it’s my sacrifice.
