Pretty when you lie

Verse 1

(Dark piano, low reverb, 72 BPM, minor key, soft female vocal close-mic)

You’re a monster in a lover’s disguise

Feed me crumbs just to keep me tied

Take what you want, leave ashes behind

Call it love while you poison my mind

Your lies drip sweet from a serpent smile

You play your games, I play denial

You disappear like you’ve already won

But silence cuts deeper than a loaded gun

Pre-Chorus

(Sub bass swell, heartbeat kick building, airy harmonies)

You pull me close just to watch me break

Say my name like it’s yours to take

I was fire, now I’m undone

Tell me… was I ever the one?

Chorus

(Full drums, electric guitar swell, 95 BPM halftime feel, emotional belt vocals).

You cut me open, left me on the floor

Bleeding out from a love I can’t ignore

Every time you come back around

It’s the same damn cycle, same damn sound

You’re cruel, you’re cold, it’s all about you

No conscience in the damage you do

But karma’s coming, yeah she don’t forget

And baby… you ain’t seen her yet

Verse 2

(Muted guitar plucks, trap hi-hats, dark pop vibe)

You wear your secrets like a second skin

No cracks, no guilt, no truth within

Said “I love you” like it meant something real

But I felt the lie in the way you feel

Doors slammed shut, you tore us apart

Left fingerprints all over my heart

You took my soul like it was a game

Now I barely recognize my own name

Pre-Chorus 2

(Rising synth tension, layered vocals)

You had me chained in your twisted art

Every scar got your signature mark

I gave you all, you gave me none

Still I stayed… God, what have I done

Chorus

(Bigger drums, distorted guitar, layered vocals)

You cut me open, left me on the floor

Bleeding out from a love I can’t ignore

Every time you come back around

It’s the same damn cycle, same damn sound

You’re cruel, you’re cold, it’s all about you

No conscience in the damage you do

But karma’s coming, yeah she don’t forget

And baby… you ain’t seen her yet

Bridge

(Strings + ambient pads, stripped back, haunting tone)

Love ain’t a weapon, it ain’t a lie

It’s not something you say just to get by

You said the words but they fell like stones

Now I’m rebuilding from broken bones

(pause, whisper vocal)

You didn’t break me… you revealed me

Final Chorus (Explosive)

(Full production, 105 BPM, choir backing vocals, cinematic drums)

You cut me open, but I survived

Turned every wound into a fight

You thought I’d drown in the mess you made

But I rose up from the wreckage you gave

You were poison dressed like truth

Now I see straight through you

Karma’s coming, I don’t have to chase

She’ll look you dead in your lying face

Outro

(Soft piano returns, echo vocals fading)

You said “forever”… didn’t mean a word

Now your silence is all I heard

You were my fall, my breaking call…

But I’m the storm that ends it all
