Broken in Silence

I gave you my trust like a loaded gun You held it close just to watch me run Every late-night call, every “where you been?” Now I know the truth hiding in your skin You kissed me slow while you crossed the line Said forever, but you lied every time Now your perfume’s fading off my clothes And the coldest part is everybody knows You broke me in silence Left scars where your love used to stay I hear your name and it burns like violence Guess forever was just a game you played Now I’m dancing with the ghost of us Trying to heal from a love so corrupt You moved on fast like I never existed While I’m still drowning in every memory twisted I saw your shadow inside his car That’s when I realized who you are Not the angel that I used to see Just somebody who destroyed me quietly You broke me in silence Left scars where your love used to stay I hear your name and it burns like violence Guess forever was just a game you played One day you’ll feel this pain too When somebody lies the way you do And when your heart falls apart at night You’ll remember mine and what you sacrificed Now the rain falls harder on my street But without you, I can finally breathe You were love mixed with poison and fire And losing you saved me from the liar
