[Verse 1] We walked through fields of gold, or so I thought it seemed Shared every story, every dream, a bond I truly deemed Unbreakable, a fortress strong, against the world outside But whispers started going wrong, and nowhere left to hide [Chorus] Oh, the painted smiles, the empty words, a friendship built on sand Now the truth is heard, like chirping birds, throughout the promised land You showed your colors, one by one, as shadows started to descend My trust was gone, the damage done, a chapter brought to end [Verse 2] Shared my victories, shared my pain, thought our bond could never break But every word felt like a game, a friendship built on what you'd take Used my trust as a stepping stone, for your own selfish, hidden gain Now I'm sitting here alone, trying to wash away the stain [Pre-Chorus] A subtle shift, a fleeting glance, a coldness in your eyes I started to re-evaluate, beneath the thin disguise [Chorus] Oh, the painted smiles, the empty words, a friendship built on sand Now the truth is heard, like chirping birds, throughout the promised land You showed your colors, one by one, as shadows started to descend My trust was gone, the damage done, a chapter brought to end [Bridge] It's a bitter pill, this lesson learned, that not all hands you hold are true But for every bridge that's been burned, a stronger, wiser me breaks through I'll build my circle, small and bright, with genuine and honest souls And walk away into the light, where true connection makes me whole [Chorus] Oh, the painted smiles, the empty words, a friendship built on sand Now the truth is heard, like chirping birds, throughout the promised land You showed your colors, one by one, as shadows started to descend My trust was gone, the damage done, a chapter brought to end
