Played My Part
Girard
Played My Part
(Verse 1)
I told you what you wanted to hear,
Whispered sweet words, made you feel near.
But deep inside, I knew all along,
I was just playing a part, pretending so strong.
You gave me your trust, gave me your soul,
I took what I could, and left you with the hole.
I smiled and played the role you adored,
But the love I showed you was never more.
(Pre-Chorus)
I used you, I lied, but you couldn’t see,
Caught in the web I spun so easily.
You thought I was real, thought I was true,
But I never cared, I just needed you.
(Chorus)
I played my part, I wore the mask,
I made you believe in love’s sweet task.
But it was all for me, it was all for gain,
Leaving you behind with only the pain.
I played my part, I led you astray,
But I was never in it, I was never here to stay.
I played my part, now it’s over, it’s done,
I used you up, and now I’m gone.
(Verse 2)
I fed you dreams and told you lies,
Looked into your eyes, but behind them, I’d hide.
I held you close, I made you believe,
But now I’m walking away, no reason to grieve.
You gave me your love, I took it all,
Used you for my needs, then watched you fall.
I played the role, I fooled your heart,
But now it’s clear, I never played it from the start.
(Pre-Chorus)
I used you, I lied, but you couldn’t see,
Caught in the web I spun so easily.
You thought I was real, thought I was true,
But I never cared, I just needed you.
(Chorus)
I played my part, I wore the mask,
I made you believe in love’s sweet task.
But it was all for me, it was all for gain,
Leaving you behind with only the pain.
I played my part, I led you astray,
But I was never in it, I was never here to stay.
I played my part, now it’s over, it’s done,
I used you up, and now I’m gone.
(Bridge)
I’m sorry for the lies, but it’s too late,
The truth’s been revealed, I sealed your fate.
I used you to fill a void in me,
But now you’re left with nothing, and I’m free.
(Chorus)
I played my part, I wore the mask,
I made you believe in love’s sweet task.
But it was all for me, it was all for gain,
Leaving you behind with only the pain.
I played my part, I led you astray,
But I was never in it, I was never here to stay.
I played my part, now it’s over, it’s done,
I used you up, and now I’m gone.
(Outro)
I played my part, but I’ve gone too far,
Leaving you behind, alone with your scars.
I played my part, now you’ll see,
The truth about you and me.
This song is a raw and unapologetic confession of someone who pretended to love another for selfish reasons, using them for personal gain.
