Love for Show

Love for Show
(Verse 1)
We walked through life with a perfect smile,
Pretended we were happy, if only for a while.
You held my hand in front of the crowd,
But behind closed doors, you never allowed.
The truth to show, the cracks to break,
We played the part for our own sake.
In the light of day, we were picture perfect,
But in the dark of night, it was all just a lie to protect.
(Pre-Chorus)
You said the words, but they never rang true,
The love you showed was just something to pursue.
For show, for show, to keep up the disguise,
But now I see it in your cold, empty eyes.
(Chorus)
Love for show, we faked it all,
Played the part, but we let each other fall.
Behind the scenes, we were strangers alone,
But out in public, we were love’s throne.
Love for show, it was all just a lie,
We built our love on a foundation of disguise.
In the end, we were only playing the role,
Love for show, but it never touched the soul.
(Verse 2)
We danced through moments, but it wasn’t real,
The way you touched me, the way you’d heal.
It was all for them, the eyes that watched,
But the truth between us was left untouched.
I gave my heart, but you never cared,
We made love look easy, but we were never prepared.
To face the truth, to see it unfold,
That what we had was only for show, never bold.
(Pre-Chorus)
You said the words, but they never rang true,
The love you showed was just something to pursue.
For show, for show, to keep up the disguise,
But now I see it in your cold, empty eyes.
(Chorus)
Love for show, we faked it all,
Played the part, but we let each other fall.
Behind the scenes, we were strangers alone,
But out in public, we were love’s throne.
Love for show, it was all just a lie,
We built our love on a foundation of disguise.
In the end, we were only playing the role,
Love for show, but it never touched the soul.
(Bridge)
The masks are off, the curtains have fallen,
The love we built was just words, nothing worth calling.
We fooled the world, but now it’s clear,
Our love was a lie that we both held dear.
(Chorus)
Love for show, we faked it all,
Played the part, but we let each other fall.
Behind the scenes, we were strangers alone,
But out in public, we were love’s throne.
Love for show, it was all just a lie,
We built our love on a foundation of disguise.
In the end, we were only playing the role,
Love for show, but it never touched the soul.
(Outro)
Love for show, we lost our way,
Now all we have are the memories that fade away.
We built a house of cards on a fake foundation,
Now we’re left with nothing, just silent resignation.
This song paints the painful picture of a relationship where the love was only for appearances, never genuine
