In the stillness of the night when I'm all alone
I'm haunted by the memories of what we used to own
A love so pure, or so I thought it seemed
But now I see the truth the illusion that it gleamed

You painted me a picture of a world so bright
But all along, you were hiding in the darkest night
You manipulated me with your twisted lies
And blinded me to the truth with your mesmerizing eyes

I was lost in your deception, so naïve and young
Believing every word you said like a siren's song
You made me feel so worthless, so small and incomplete
And I blamed myself for everything for my every defeat

You painted me a picture of a world so bright
But all along, you were hiding in the darkest night
You manipulated me with your twisted lies
And blinded me to the truth with your mesmerizing eyes

I was lost in your deception, so naïve and young
Believing every word you said like a siren's song
You made me feel so worthless, so small and incomplete
And I blamed myself for everything for my every defeat

I finally saw the cracks in the facade you built
The mask you wore so well began to wilt
And I realized the truth with a crushing blow
That the love I thought I knew was nothing but a show

You painted me a picture of a world so bright
But all along, you were hiding in the darkest night
You manipulated me with your twisted lies
And blinded me to the truth with your mesmerizing eyes

Now I'm picking up the pieces of my shattered heart
And I'm learning to love myself from the very start
I'll never let you hurt me again in this way
I'm getting away from your chains and I'm here to stay

You painted me a picture of a world so bright
But all along, you were hiding in the darkest night
You manipulated me with your twisted lies
And blinded me to the truth with your mesmerizing eyes
