Lyrics
(Intro)
Amaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7 E7sus4
(Verse 1)
Amaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7 E7sus4
I walked down that aisle with a heart full of dreams,
In a gown of white under old church beams.
You held my hand, whispered words so sweet,
Made me believe love was at our feet.
(Pre-Chorus)
Bm7 C#m7
I believed every word, got lost in your eyes,
Now I see through the mask, see through your lies.
(Chorus)
Amaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7 E7sus4
But you weren't no savior, just a wolf in disguise,
Tore my heart apart with your hurtful lies.
You're a storm I thought was a gentle rain,
I traded my joy for a life of pain.
(Verse 2)
Amaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7 E7sus4
You promised me the stars but gave me the night,
Locked up my spirit, stole my light.
The laughter we shared, now just a memory,
Replaced by tears, I weep silently.
(Pre-Chorus)
Bm7 C#m7
Once lost in your eyes, I believed every word,
Now the mask is off; your lies are heard.
(Chorus)
Amaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7 E7sus4
My savior, my lover, my heart's one desire,
Turned into a monster, set my world on fire.
Now the man in my dreams, in my mirror of fears,
Is the face of my tormentor, the cause of my tears.
(Bridge)
F#m7 Bm7 C#m7 Dmaj7
In the reflection of heartache, through the bruises and scars,
I'm picking up pieces of this shattered heart.
Your love was my prison, but I've found my key,
No longer your captive; I'm gonna be free.
(Verse 3)
Amaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7 E7sus4
Now this house ain't a home; it's a battlefield,
Broken promises scattered, wounds never healed.
I won't be your victim, won't wear your chain,
I'm stronger than your hatred, larger than your pain.
(Chorus)
Amaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7 E7sus4
You were my demon dressed as a knight,
Turned all our days into endless nights.
But the sun's gonna rise; I'll chase away the gloom,
Like a phoenix from the ashes, I will bloom.
(Outro)
Amaj7 Dmaj7 F#m7 E7sus4
Your love was a curse, but I found my cure,
I'm walking out the door, of that I'm sure.
No longer your puppet, tangled in your lies,
I'm my own savior under brighter skies.
I'm heading towards love under brighter skies.
