You said the truth was overrated
That love's just better fabricated
We lit a match and borrowed trust
Watched it glow then turn to dust
Your words were honey laced with smoke
Sweet enough to make me choke
I knew the fire still I stayed
Some flames are worth the pain they made
Every spark felt justified When it's dressed up as something right
It's the slowest burn of a good lie Warm enough to keep me blind
Every truth you tried to hide Felt like heaven for a time
We built our house where angels die In the slowest burn of a good lie
Your touch was gospel soft and cruel A holy sin I learned in full
You said forever quiet,
sure A wound I couldn't call a cure
I held your shadow,
loved your ghost Believed the part that hurt the most
Taking off
clothes and eating your body is not love
It's just a momentary addiction that goes away in the morning
Love is proven when the woman is breaking
down and you're there to support her
The woman who breaks down in front of you is not your victory
It's her trust
She doesn't accept you for your body,
she accepts you for your faith
And if you break that trust,
then you've not just broken one heart,
but one heart
I'll leave your life
I promise I'll never come back
You'll have to promise me one thing
You'll never make anyone go crazy in
love like this
You'll never make anyone suffer like this
for so many years
Love is a pure relationship that you made a joke of
I'm not gonna lie Every scar you left behind still whispers
what we tried to find We broke our hearts to stay divine In
the slowest burn of a good lie
