Shadows of Deceit

[Intro]
Oh, it's hard to see the truth when the lies come easy,
She wears a mask, but deep down, it's just so cheesy.
[Verse 1]
You spun your tales with your sweet serenades,
Pulled me in close, while your heart slowly fades.
Thought I was the king, but now I'm just a pawn,
You played your part well, now look at what you've drawn.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know every face that you put on for show,
Tales of the victim, but it's all just for dough.
I see beneath the surface, the cracks in your facade,
You’re a tempest in disguise, and I’m breaking like a shard.
[Chorus]
Oh, deceitful heart, you played the perfect role,
Now I'm left with questions, and it’s taking its toll.
Jumping into arms that aren’t yours to stay,
Tell me, can you really look yourself in the way?
[Verse 2]
You twisted words like a knife in the back,
Left me to deal with this heart-wrenching attack.
And now they whisper things that shatter my name,
But all the empty love was just a part of your game.
[Pre-Chorus]
You wore the crown of sorrow, but it fits you so loose,
While I carry your burden, can’t escape this abuse.
And the family you chose, will they open their eyes,
To see the true colors that paint all your lies?
[Chorus]
Oh, deceitful heart, you played the perfect role,
Now I'm left with questions, and it’s taking its toll.
Jumping into arms that aren’t yours to stay,
Tell me, can you really look yourself in the way?
[Bridge]
Someday they'll see you for the phantoms you cast,
This charade won't hold when the die has been cast.
You'll dance in the shadows, but I’ll stand in the light,
Your true self will crumble when faced with the right.
[Outro]
So here's to the freedom, to the truth I will find,
This heart of mine’s resilient, won't be left behind.
You may think you escape, but we’ll meet in the end,
And when the masks fall off, there'll be no one to defend.
