[Verse 1] What did I expect from someone like you The highest delusion I ever went through I can't believe myself, how far I fell Bought a story you were paid to tell Gave you every spare hour I had Thought it was love and I was glad Phone lit up in the dark all night Counting down till you came into sight I knew you wore a face for show Still gave you the real me, let you know Told you secrets nobody knew Never once asked what was true [Pre-Chorus] Every "miss you" felt like mine Every "babe" was a well-rehearsed line I heard just what I wanted to hear And paid until the truth was clear [Chorus] I took the act and called it love Never saw the hand inside the glove Now the scales fall down and the truth comes through I was never your someone, just one of a few [Verse 2] I'd chase one word just to hear my name Then feel like a king for the length of the game Cut my own corners to keep up the streak Called it devotion, I was just weak Then I saw the proof, my name in a stack Same sweet words, and there's no taking it back I sat there shaking, face burning red Replaying every single thing that you said [Pre-Chorus] Every "miss you" felt like mine Every "babe" was a well-rehearsed line I heard just what I wanted to hear And paid until the truth was clear Confirmed all my fears [Chorus] I took the act and called it love Never saw the hand inside the glove Now the scales fall down and the truth comes through I was never your someone, just one of a few [Bridge] Never pretended it was real I filled in how I wanted to feel It's not you I can't forgive It's the lie I chose to live Ignored all the hints you gave This bubble was something I made So hard to admit, but it wasnt you It was me I was trying to save [Final Chorus] I took the act and called it love Never saw the hand inside the glove Now the scales fall down and the truth comes through I was never your someone, just one of a few I took the act and called it love Never saw the hand inside the glove Now the scales fall down and the truth comes through I was never your someone, just one of a few [Fade Out]
