You chased the money, thought life will be funny, Till it crashed down like a tsunami. Days were sunny, nights grew cold, Truth got lost in all the lies you told. (Pre-Chorus) Idolize the dream I’m buying, But inside felt like I was slowly dying. Trying hard, my soul was siding, With the truths my heart’s been hiding. (Chorus) Tears keep falling, deaf ears near, Dreams reduced, yet I’m still here. I reflect, detect what you expect, The proof is truth you can’t reject. Flying onward through this trial I face, Searching steady for a truer place. (Verse 2 – rewritten for vibe) All the promises came undone, Lies repeated one by one. I was blinded, couldn’t see, What you wanted wasn’t me. (Pre-Chorus – repeat) Idolize the dream I’m buying, But inside felt like I was slowly dying. Trying hard, my soul was siding, With the truths my heart’s been hiding. (Chorus) Tears keep falling, deaf ears near, Dreams reduced, yet I’m still here. I reflect, detect what you expect, The proof is truth you can’t reject. Flying onward through this trial I face, Searching steady for a truer place. (Bridge – your favorite lines, kept raw) Heartbroken nights taught me to feel, Silence can wound, but silence can heal. Surprise in the pain, I learned what is real, The truth is the one thing no lie can steal. (Final Chorus – closing, more direct) Tears keep falling, deaf ears near, Dreams reduced, but I’m still here. I reflect, detect what you expect, The proof is truth you can’t reject. Flying forward through this trial I face, Searching steady for a truer place.
