Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – soft, haunting] You said forever like it was a dare I let it scar me, didn’t care You stitched your name into my skin And whispered, “This is how it ends.” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – tension rising] And maybe I knew But God, I still chose you Like glass in my throat But the blood tasted true ⸻ [Chorus – melodic and tragic] You were the sweetest lie I ever lived I wore the pain like it was a gift Every red flag waving in my face I kissed like roses just misplaced I bled belief from every vein You hurt me soft, then hurt again But I never once resisted it— You were the sweetest lie I ever lived ⸻ [Verse 2 – slow burn, darker tone] You loved me just enough to stay And hate me in all the wrong ways You pulled me close to feel the burn Then left before I could return I wrote you poems in my sleep You turned them into razor teeth You held my face, then let me drown And I smiled while going down ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – again, more desperate] And maybe I knew You were never true But lies taste better When they come from you ⸻ [Chorus – louder, desperate ache] You were the sweetest lie I ever lived I wore the scars like fingerprints Every no disguised as a maybe Every bruise you called “just crazy” You lit the match, I begged for flame Then cursed your name and took the blame I never once regretted it— You were the sweetest lie I ever lived ⸻ [Bridge – whispered / spoken word] I knew it wasn’t real… I just didn’t want it to end I called it fate But it was just pretend ⸻ [Final Chorus – stripped down, then explodes] You were the sweetest lie I ever lived Still dream of things we never did You were hollow, I was blind But you were perfect in my mind I’d do it all again and break To feel the ache your love would make I never really wanted truth— I only wanted you.
