Verse 1:
I dressed up in your favorite clothes,
But you looked right through,
Like I’m just a pretty show,
A heart you never knew.
Pre-Chorus:
Every touch, a fleeting glance,
Never gave me more than chance,
You wanted the curves, the soft caress,
But never cared for my loneliness.
Chorus:
Used for my body, but never my soul,
I’m just a shell, I don’t feel whole.
Running in circles, an empty race,
In your arms, I’ve lost my place.
Verse 2:
The nights turn to silence, I feel the ache,
A love built on dreams that you’ll never make,
Whispers of passion that fade to gray,
In the morning light, you slip away.
Pre-Chorus:
Every kiss, a hidden lie,
You can’t see the tears I cry,
You wanted the prize, the surface shine,
But in your eyes, I’m left behind.
Chorus:
Used for my body, but never my soul,
I’m just a shell, I don’t feel whole.
Running in circles, an empty race,
In your arms, I’ve lost my place.
Bridge:
What about the heart that beats inside?
What about the love I have to hide?
I’m aching for a touch that's real,
Not just a moment you can steal.
Chorus:
Used for my body, but never my soul,
I’m just a shell, I don’t feel whole.
Running in circles, an empty race,
In your arms, I’ve lost my place.
Outro:
So here I stand, alone in the night,
Searching for love, searching for light,
No more beautiful masks, no more disguise,
I’ll find my worth when I close my eyes.
