[Intro] wore my name like borrowed lace. Smiled at my table with another face. [Verse 1] You came in clean with the rain still shining, hand on my shoulder, knife out of sight. Called me brother with your mouth all silver, then watched her walking through the candlelight. I should have seen how your silence glittered. I should have heard what the room held back. Every toast had a hairline fracture. Every laugh left a mark in the glass. You asked her name like you didn’t know it. You praised my luck like a man being kind. But your eyes kept slipping past the mirror, trying my future on for size. [Chorus] Glass masquerade. Pretty little lie. I saw your smile with a crack inside. Friend in the front, thief in the shade. We danced all night in a glass masquerade. [Verse 2] She wore blue like a secret burning, stood by the window where the moon got thin. You said, “Be careful, hearts get foolish,” while your own heart rehearsed its sin. I gave you keys to the rooms I trusted. You gave me advice with a hidden blade. Funny how betrayal learns manners when it wants to be invited to stay. Now every corridor knows your footsteps. Now every curtain keeps your stain. I don’t hate the mask for breaking. I hate that I knew its name. [Chorus] Glass masquerade. Pretty little lie. I saw your smile with a crack inside. Friend in the front, thief in the shade. We danced all night in a glass masquerade. [Bridge] Tell me, was it love or just the wanting? Was she a heart or something to win? Did my trust make the door look open? Did my kindness let you in? No drum. No duel. No grand betrayal. Just your hand near hers in the hall. Sometimes a friend doesn’t stab you loudly. Sometimes he lets you watch him fall. [Final Chorus] Glass masquerade. Beautiful lie. I saw your smile and the crack went wide. Friend in the front, thief in the shade. I left you there in the glass masquerade. [Outro] You wore my name like borrowed lace. I swept the floor and kept one shard safe. [End]
