Reflections lie, illusions thrive Behind the mask, can truth survive? Your words fell like summer rain Sweet on my skin, then gone again I couldn't see past the perfect show The stage lights blinded me, how could I know? That underneath your promises and lies Was just another role you'd learned to disguise Was it my status that caught your eye? Or just the emptiness you needed to fill inside Now I see clearly what I couldn't before When you couldn't get what you wanted, you walked out the door Love built on mirrors and smoke Disappears the moment it broke Was I just a chapter in your play? A fleeting character you'd discard anyway When the curtains closed and lights went down Your so-called love was nowhere to be found You practiced lines like sacred art Calculated moves to claim my heart Was it loneliness or something worse? My wealth, my name – which came first? I was blind to the warning signs Believing fairy tales and practiced lines The truth revealed itself so cold When your act couldn't hold All your sweet words turned to dust When you couldn't get what you wanted from us Love built on mirrors and smoke Disappears the moment it broke Was I just a chapter in your play? A fleeting character you'd discard anyway When the curtains closed and lights went down Your so-called love was nowhere to be found The coldest truth I've ever known Is how quickly love turns to stone When what you wanted slipped away Your heart wasn't willing to stay Now I'm left wondering if any part was real Or if love was just something you pretended to feel Love built on mirrors and smoke Disappears the moment it broke Was I just a chapter in your play? A fleeting character you'd discard anyway When the curtains closed and lights went down Your so-called love was nowhere to be found Reflections lie, illusions die Behind the mask, the truth survives
