A Hoax

(VERSE 1)

I’m laying here in my bed

Running those three words you used to say

In my head

I thought it was all just a nightmare

That would disappear once I woke

But suddenly I realized

it was real

And I started to choke

(Loop)

There’s a knot inside my throat

Holding back the tears,

holding back the smoke

And all of these emotions

come rushing back to me

How could you already move on?

(CHORUS)

You said I was your forever

You said I was the one you wanted to marry

Now I’m looking you up on social media

Seeing pictures of you and another woman,

moving on so easily

Yeah, I’ve realized that was all a hoax

A beautiful, lying hoax.

(Verse 2)

I’m scrolling through the memories

Trying to find the moment that it all went wrong

Was it all a performance?

Did you know this was a sad song?

I’m drowning in the silence of this room

While you’re dancing in the light

(CHORUS)

'Cause You said I was your forever

You said I was the one you wanted to marry

Now I’m looking you up on social media

Seeing pictures of you and another woman,

moving on so easily

Yeah, I’ve realized that was all a hoax

A beautiful, lying hoax.

(BRIDGE)

How do I untangle this knot in my throat?

How do I survive when you let the ship sink?

You were my anchor, now I’m just a ghost

Just a ghost in your bed...

(LOOP)

I’m still laying here in my bed

Running those three words you used to say

In my head...

(CHORUS)

You said I was your forever

You said I was the one you wanted to marry

Now I’m looking you up on social media

Seeing pictures of you and another woman,

moving on so easily

Yeah, I’ve realized that was all a hoax

A beautiful, lying hoax.

It was just a hoax.

(Whispered)

A beautiful, lying hoax.
