**[Intro – Slow, haunting electric guitar]** There’s a shadow in the doorway, There’s a whisper in the night, There’s a thousand things you’ve hidden, And I’m tired of asking why. You can paint a perfect picture, You can wear your sweet disguise, But the truth is getting closer, I can see it in your eyes. **[Verse 1]** You told me I was your forever, Said our love would never die, But I found a thousand pieces Of a love built on your lies. Every promise was a prison, Every kiss concealed the truth, I was fighting for our future While you tore apart our roots. **[Pre-Chorus]** Now the walls are slowly breaking, And the silence starts to scream, All the lies that you kept buried Are coming apart at the seams. **[Chorus – Powerful, emotional vocals]** **Secrets and lies, secrets and lies,** I see the truth behind your eyes. You built a world of make-believe, And left me with a heart that bleeds. Secrets and lies, now the curtain falls, I hear the truth echo through these walls. You had my love, you had my trust, But you turned our dreams to ashes and dust. **Secrets and lies!** That's all that's left of you and I! **[Verse 2]** There were nights you held me closer, While your conscience turned away, You could look me in the eyes And still have nothing true to say. I defended you to strangers, I stood by you through the rain, Never knowing all the while I was dancing with my pain. Now the photographs lie silent, And the memories cut like glass, I'm collecting all the pieces Of a love that couldn't last. **[Pre-Chorus]** You thought I'd never find out, Thought I'd never see the signs, But the truth has found its freedom In the wreckage of your lies. **[Chorus – Full band, driving drums and soaring guitars]** **Secrets and lies, secrets and lies,** I see the truth behind your eyes. You built a world of make-believe, And left me with a heart that bleeds. Secrets and lies, now the curtain falls, I hear the truth echo through these walls. You had my love, you had my trust, But you turned our dreams to ashes and dust. **Secrets and lies!** That's all that's left of you and I! **[Bridge – Music drops to a single piano and vocal]** Maybe I was blind to see, Maybe love made a fool of me, Maybe I believed in dreams That weren't as beautiful as they seemed. But I won't spend another night Trying to make your wrongs seem right. You can keep the life you made, I'm walking out of this masquerade. And when the midnight shadows call, When you're alone against the wall, Remember this before you cry— **Love cannot live on secrets and lies.** **[Guitar Solo – Slow, bluesy, building into a storm]** **[Final Chorus – Explosive, full-band climax]** **SECRETS AND LIES, SECRETS AND LIES!** No more tears and no more alibis! You took my heart, you stole my years, You fed your love on all my fears! Secrets and lies, now I'm breaking free, You don't get to write the ending for me! The truth came out, the spell is done, You lost my heart, but I found someone— **ME!** Secrets and lies, let the whole world know, You reap the seeds that you choose to sow! I gave you everything, you gave me pain, But you'll never break my heart again! **[Outro – Instruments fade, lonely guitar remains]** There’s a shadow in the doorway, There’s a cold wind through the night, Once I thought you were my everything… Now I see you in a different light. Secrets and lies… Secrets and lies… **And now… goodbye.** *[Final guitar chord rings out and fades into silence.]*
