You painted pictures in the air
But the colors never stayed
Thought you'd hold me like a prayer
But you let the echoes fade
You whispered lies in velvet tones
But the truth cut through like glass
Left me standing on my own
Now your shadow's just the past
I'm not a verse you can repeat
Or a story left untold
You thought your words would make me weak
But I'm standing here so bold
You played your games I knew the rules
But never let you see me sweat
You took me for a lovesick fool
Now you're the one with regret
You tried to twist the ending scene
But the plot was never yours
Now I've written myself free
And I'm closing all the doors
I'm not a verse you can repeat
Or a story left untold
You thought your words would make me weak
But I'm standing here so bold
You whispered lies in velvet tones
But you let the echoes fade
You whispered your deceit
You were singing our deceit
I'm not a verse you can repeat
Or a story left untold
You thought your words would make me weak
But I'm standing here so bold
You whispered lies in velvet tones
But you let the echoes fade
You whispered your deceit
You were singing our deceit
I'm not a verse you can repeat
Or a story left untold
You played your games I knew the rules
But never let you see me sweat
You took me for a lovesick fool
Now you're the one with regret
You tried to twist the ending scene
But the plot was never yours
Now I've written myself free
And I'm closing all the doors
I'm not a verse you can repeat
Or a story left untold
You thought your words would make me weak
But I'm standing here so bold
You whispered lies in velvet tones
But you let the echoes fade
You whispered your deceit
You were singing our deceit
I'm not a verse you can repeat
Or a story left untold
You thought your words would make me weak
But I'm standing here so bold
You whispered lies in velvet tones
But you let the echoes fade
You whispered your deceit
You were singing our deceit
You're a line that's lost its rhyme
A song that's lost its beat
I'll move the head I'm right on time
No more dancing to your deceit
You're a line that's lost its rhyme
A song that's lost its beat
I'll move the head I'm right on time
No more dancing to your deceit
