Lyrics:
(I should’ve known it was a fight I wasn’t ready for)
I know that you get off by getting away with it
You probably think that I would forever let you in
Guess the joke’s on me, your sincerity’s a sin
Shame on you forever, I'll never trust again
When you promised me the world
When you took away my fear
I was crying on your shoulder
Was any of it real?
I should've known it was a fight I wasn't ready for
You played the martyr in a holy war
Sincerity
Why’d you have to say that?
Thought I saw the truth in your eyes
Sincerity
Sealed it with a blood pact
Lost in the blink of a lie
Stop messing with my head like
You’re the only casualty
Gaslit the flame that we rot in
Fabricate and laugh in my face
Brainwashed ‘til all was forgotten
Playing me like a game til I break
Why don’t you have any sympathy for your ways?
I know I wasn’t perfect
But you know I don’t deserve this
Still wondering, here left to heal
Was any of it real?
I should've known it was a fight I wasn't ready for
You played the martyr in a holy war
Sincerity
Why’d you have to say that?
Thought I saw the truth in your eyes
Sincerity
Sealed it with a blood pact
Lost in the blink of a lie
Just take one moment here with me
And watch this faded memory
I thought you were all mine
You wasted all my goddamn time
You played the hero
But you’re just the devil in my eyes
Why’d you have to say that?
Thought I saw the truth in your eyes
Sincerity
Sealed it with a blood pact
Lost in the blink of a lie
The eyes that tell us lies
We can't survive
