Original Lyrics by J.Lynn
I thought I found a diamond, but you were just a stone,
A masquerade of laughter, now I'm standing all alone.
You wore a smile like armor, hiding daggers deep inside,
In a world of painted faces, you were my trusted guide.
But every whispered secret turned into bitter lies,
Now the trust we built together has crumbled to the skies.
Oh, shadows in the light, where our friendship used to shine,
You played your part so well while you crossed that fragile line.
Thought we’d dance through stormy nights; instead, I’m feeling cold—
In this theater of betrayal, it’s a story left untold.
You laughed at all my struggles while I bared my heart and soul,
But behind that silver lining was an empty blackened hole.
With every word you shattered me like glass upon the floor—
What’s loyalty when loyalty is nothing anymore?
Those echoes haunt my midnight dreams; they whisper ‘run away,’
From the ghosts of broken promises that never saw the day.
Oh, shadows in the light, where our friendship used to shine,
You played your part so well while you crossed that fragile line.
Thought we’d dance through stormy nights; instead I’m feeling cold—
In this theater of betrayal—it’s a story left untold.
And now I wear my scars like badges from battles fought alone—
Each tear's a testament to trust that's turned to stone.
I’ll rise from ashes scattered by those who love to play pretend—
With every step I'm taking back what's real until the end.
Oh, shadows in the light; yeah—you’re just a fleeting ghost!
Thought you'd stand beside me strong; turns out you needed me most.
In this symphony of heartbreak—I’m reclaiming what is mine—
No more shadows in my heart—I'll let these stars align.
So here’s to all those friendships wrapped in velvet lies and schemes—
I’ll find my way through honesty as I awaken from these dreams.
With courage born from loneliness and strength forged through despair—
I’ll leave behind your empty words; I’ve learned how much to care.
