the girl I used to be

Half a year wrapped inside every lie
We were happy together, or was that just a lie?
I only wanted truth, but fate brought a knife to my chest
I loved you sincerely, gave you all my best

I never broke promises, never strayed from what I said
Your gentle touches felt so sweet at the time
Eyes pretending calm,
“baby, everything’s fine”

You lied straight to my face, without shame or regret
Stains remained on our bedsheets we can’t forget
You poisoned my soul
Kissed me while another crept into your hold…

Snake’s bite sunk deep, I fell down low
I drank glass after glass to make the hurt slow
But alcohol can’t help me accept
I lost it all, I know

Pillow soaked in tears, it’s not enough to ease pain
Mirror shows scars left by the strain
Baby, I’m slowly dying
trapped inside this chain

I scream into the void and hear an echo call
You ask me, baby, where have you gone?
I curse every kiss, every word you spoke to me
You shattered my faith of the girl I used to be

My love’s a ghost lost on dark lonely streets
Old wounds still ache, I beg for some relief
The truth changed who I am, I’m not the girl you knew
You were my mistake, lesson learned, I’m moving through

Snake’s bite sunk deep, I fell down low
I drank glass after glass to make the hurt slow
But alcohol can’t help me accept I lost it all, I know
Pillow soaked in tears, it’s not enough to ease pain

Mirror shows scars left by the strain
Baby, I’m slowly dying
trapped inside this chain
I lost all parts of the girl I was before

Your love was a knife that cut me to the core
Snake’s bite sunk deep, I fell down low
I drank glass after glass to make the hurt slow
Now I finally accept I lost it all, I know

Pillow soaked in tears, it’s not enough to ease pain
Mirror shows my face,
scars remain but I’m free
Baby, I’m surviving, breaking every chain
