Emma Starlight's haunting vocals and poignant lyrics reflect the anguish of betrayal and the quest for healing.
Verse 1:
I gave you a decade, thought it was forever,
But you shattered that dream, like glass in the weather.
Told me you loved me, while weaving your lies,
Now I'm left here drowning in a sea of goodbyes.
Chorus:
Betrayed by the lies, I can't believe it’s true,
You turned my whole town against me, who are you?
Even my best friend, swayed by your game,
Now I'm standing alone, with a heart full of shame.
Verse 2:
Every whisper in the streets, it cuts like a knife,
You painted me a villain, stole a piece of my life.
Talk of betrayal's sweet, in a world made of spite,
But I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll reclaim my own light.
Chorus:
Betrayed by the lies, I can't believe it’s true,
You turned my whole town against me, who are you?
Even my best friend, swayed by your game,
Now I'm standing alone, with a heart full of shame.
Bridge:
But the truth will come out, like the light in the dawn,
These shadows you cast, I’ll no longer mourn.
I’ll find the strength in this pain, like a phoenix from fire,
No more will your deceit pull my heart into the mire.
Chorus:
Betrayed by the lies, I can't believe it’s true,
You turned my whole town against me, who are you?
Even my best friend, swayed by your game,
Now I'm standing alone, with a heart full of shame.
Outro:
So here's to the lessons, the trust that I’ll find,
I’ll weave a new story, leaving you behind.
Though you tore me to pieces, I’ll build myself strong,
This painfully honest song, will carry me along.
