[Verse] You said it was just groceries Just a little gas But the bills stacked up They came too fast I found the paper trail A mile long Your name in cursive But the charge was wrong [Prechorus] You act like it’s magic Like it all disappeared But the numbers don’t lie They’re loud and clear [Chorus] Now I'm paying for the silence For every “sorry” you never said You dressed the debt in diamonds While I laid awake in dread You called it life, I called it theft Of the trust we once lived on Now the balance won’t reset And the damage is done [Verse 2] I saw the dresses The shoes The sparkly things All the little lies tied up with strings Your jaw dropped like you’re shocked I’d see But I’m not blind Just bad with belief [Bridge] Swipe after swipe You left your mark Every receipt A shot in the dark Was it love Was it greed Was it just for fun Now the ledger’s red And the damage is done [Final Chorus] Now I’m paying for the silence The kind that screams in bed You wrapped the debt in glitter And left me with the dread You called it love, I called it theft I was loyal, you were gone No refund, no reset And the damage is done [Outro – Spoken Word / Whisper Layer, beneath last chorus ringout] [voice cracked, quiet, almost not there] "You said it was for us…" "But I was just the co-signer." "You wore the dress... I wore the weight." "Guess we both got what we wanted, huh?"
