Verse
First sight of the sun,
Walking home with a tired mind.
Am I supposed to laugh or cry?
You said yes to me,
Now I know what your yes could hide.
Chorus
It was all a lie.
Every word, every look in your eye.
You made forever sound like one more line.
Daylight strips your words of their disguise.
Verse 2
Streetlights fade one by one,
Morning catches me alone.
Your last words ride beside me still.
I gave everything to you,
Now I leave your voice behind.
Chorus
It was all a lie.
Every word, every look in your eye.
You made forever sound like one more line.
Daylight strips your words of their disguise.
Instrumental Break
Bridge
You can keep the part you played,
I won’t be ashamed of what I gave.
My love was never make-believe,
That’s the one thing you can’t take from me.
Final Chorus
It was all a lie.
But your ending won’t become mine.
You gave me lines, I gave you truth.
You changed the script, I meant every word.
First light finds me walking on.
I won’t call loving you a loss.
Outro
You gave me lines,
I gave you truth.

I love all kinds of music.
I write lyrics and compose my own music and demos using Hookpad and DAWs, then I use licensed AI-assisted tools to help shape the production and achieve the sound I’m looking for.
Sometimes an experiment fails. Other times, everything falls into place. That’s part of the creative process.
Music doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to make you feel something.
This is where I share my songwriting and offer selected lyrics for sale.
