Lullaby Lies

[Intro] [Verse 1] Used to hold my hand, said you’d never let it go, Now I’m holdin’ memories in stereo, You said forever, like it was a song, But your verse ended early — turns out you were wrong. [Pre-Chorus] Late night whispers turned into ghosted calls, I built us a future, you just built walls. [Chorus] “Come, stop your crying, it will be all right Just take my hand, hold it tight I will protect you from, all around you I will be here, don’t you cry” (Yeah, you said that… and then left me behind.) [Verse 2] Every word you sang, now sounds like a lie, You promised to stay, now I’m askin’ why. I believed in you like a damn fool, Thought we had magic, but you just played it cool. [Pre-Chorus] Late night whispers turned into ghosted calls, I built us a future, you just built walls. [Chorus] “Come, stop your crying, it will be all right Just take my hand, hold it tight I will protect you from, all around you I will be here, don’t you cry” (Yeah, you said that… and then left me behind.) [Bridge] Told me “don’t cry,” now tears on repeat, Heartbreak anthem on a broken beat. You were my shelter, but you left me bare, Now I’m drownin’ in air like you were never there. [Chorus] “Come, stop your crying, it will be all right Just take my hand, hold it tight I will protect you from, all around you I will be here, don’t you cry” (But you weren’t. And I did. Every night.) [Outro] So take your promises, your lullaby lies, You’ll be in my past, not under my skies. I’m movin’ on, with a scar not a heart, The echoes fade, I keep my spark.
