[Intro]
I'm just a shadow of what I used to be,
Caught in the echoes of you and me.
The lights are dim, the crowd's gone loud,
Still hear your laughter in the back of the crowd.
[Verse 1]
You wore your beauty like a crown of thorns,
Dancing in the fire where our love was born.
Got lost in the thrill, but you played it cool,
While I was just a pawn in your delicate duel.
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought we had forever, but forever was a lie,
You turned to silver, while I turned to dust,
Now I'm fighting shadows, oh, I can’t deny,
What we built was a castle, crumbled with your trust.
[Chorus]
I'm the loser, baby, it's a bitter pill to swallow,
You want friendship now, but I can't stand to follow.
Backstabber, song of a love that's cold and gray,
So now I must go, never to speak again,
Friends are too low, I'm just lost in the fray.
[Verse 2]
You drew me in with that seductive glare,
Wrapped in dreams while you played unaware.
The nights you whispered, promises in vain,
Now haunt my silence like a ghost in the rain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought we had forever, but forever turned to dreams,
You kissed me with fire, then drowned me in screams.
Now I'm locked in memories, holding onto grief,
Your love was a dagger, oh I felt that disbelief.
[Chorus]
I'm the loser, baby, it's a bitter pill to swallow,
You want friendship now, but I can't stand to follow.
Backstabber, song of a love that's cold and gray,
So now I must go, never to speak again,
Friends are too low, I'm just lost in the fray.
[Bridge]
I'll carry the scars, while you dance in the light,
Thought love was a fortress, but it crumbled that night.
Each moment we shared, now a ghost in my heart,
I wish I could hate you, but I’m torn apart.
[Outro]
So here’s to the memories, like whispers in time,
What once was our music, now just a flat line.
I'm the loser, baby, and it's hard to admit,
But your friendship’s a chain that I refuse to fit.
