[Verse 1] He wore a grin like a key Walked in with borrowed charm Never much to look at But he knew how to disarm He fed on fragile hearts The kind that need a hand A face for every story A name in every land He needed all their praise Like air inside his chest He left a trail of sweet talk And never gave them rest [Pre-Chorus] Every promise bent Every story slipped He always took a little Then he’d vanish quick But the walls were closing Boots were on the floor The man behind the mask Couldn’t hide much more [Chorus] Every area code He was chasing praise Every area code He was feeding on their gaze Now the truth comes out Now the masks all break Every lie he sold Turns to ash and shame Every area code He was running free Every area code Now it points to me The women turn away And he still can’t see They won’t fall again Not for his fantasy [Verse 2] He wasn’t strong in bed He wasn’t built to last But he could spin a romance Like it came out fast He liked the private nods The secret little cheer A constant need for someone To keep him feeling near The badge lights found his car The rumors turned to факт He tried to cut his losses But the law was on his track [Pre-Chorus] Every door he closed Opened on his face The web he made for others Caught him in its lace And the names he’d buried Came back loud and clear All the women he played Could finally hear [Chorus] Every area code He was chasing praise Every area code He was feeding on their gaze Now the truth comes out Now the masks all break Every lie he sold Turns to ash and shame Every area code He was running free Every area code Now it points to me The women turn away And he still can’t see They won’t fall again Not for his fantasy [Bridge] He swore they’d call again Swore they’d need his face But the spell is gone now Nothing left to save Delusional Still talking like he won But the daylight says it all And the damage won [Final Chorus] Every area code He was chasing praise Every area code He was feeding on their gaze Now the truth comes out Now the masks all break Every lie he sold Turns to ash and shame Every area code He was running free Every area code Now it points to me The women turn away And he still can’t see They won’t fall again Not for his fantasy
