Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The coffee shop was humming, a gray November day
You checked your watch, you leaned in close, you had so much to say
You painted me a canvas of the life you left behind
A highlight reel of triumphs, the best parts you could find
I drank it in like water, I didn't check the source
I was steering toward a cliff, but I thought I held the course.


(Chorus)
'Cause there's a few things you left out when we first met
The shadows in the corners that you seemed to just forget
But the ink has dried on promises, and now you're standing here
And I'm falling for a stranger through a veil of sudden fear
Yeah, the trap is set and open, it's a debt I'm meant to sweat
There's a dozen different heartaches that I'll surely soon regret
I put my trust in rhythm, I put my trust in you
But this is what I get, and I don't know what to do.


(Verse 2)
You're polished like a diamond, you're charming like a ghost
But the wreckage in your wake is what I'm realizing the most
You didn't mention failures, you didn't mention pride
Or the way you leave the door unlocked for someone else inside
I'm digging up the secrets that you buried in the lawn
By the time I see the light, baby, you'll be long gone.


(Bridge)
Was it intentional? A calculated game?
Or just the way you curate who you want to be again?
I'm staring at the blueprint, and the foundation is cracked
And there's no way to undo this, there's no way to turn back
I'm stuck in the middle of a story you wrote
With a lump of cold reality stuck inside my throat.


(Guitar Solo - Melancholic and sharp)


(Chorus)
'Cause there's a few things you left out when we first met
The shadows in the corners that you seemed to just forget
But the ink has dried on promises, and now you're standing here
And I'm falling for a stranger through a veil of sudden fear
Yeah, the trap is set and open, it's a debt I'm meant to sweat
There's a dozen different heartaches that I'll surely soon regret
I put my trust in rhythm, I put my trust in you
But this is what I get.


(Outro)
Yeah, this is what I get.
You keep the secrets, I'll keep the rain.
You keep the glory, I'll keep the pain.
I saw the light in you, but you left out the dark.
Now I'm just a victim of a beautiful spark.
I'll regret it.
I already do.
(Fade out)
