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
