Real

I thought you were my savior, my angel in disguise
You pulled me from the shadows, wiped the tears from my eyes
But every word you whispered, every promise that you made
Was a part of your deception, just a part of your charade

Now I'm standing in the wreckage of the life we built on lies
With every broken piece, I see the devil in your eyes

Why couldn't you be real? How could you fake it all?
You watched me fall apart, you let me hit the wall
I gave you all my love, you took my soul to steal
Why couldn't you be real? Why couldn't you be real?

You painted me a picture, a future bright and clear
But behind that perfect smile, you were feeding off my fear
I fought through all my demons, thought you'd be my guiding light
But you were just another monster lurking in the night

Now I'm standing in the ashes of the dreams we made of lies
With every shattered piece, I see the truth in your disguise

Why couldn't you be real? How could you fake it all?
You watched me fall apart, you let me hit the wall
I gave you all my love, you took my soul to steal
Why couldn't you be real? Why couldn't you be real?

How could you lie to me, knowing what I've been through?
How could you break me down, after all I've done for you?
You knew my heart was fragile, you knew my trust was thin
But you tore apart my world, just to watch me cave in

Why couldn't you be real? How could you fake it all?
You watched me fall apart, you let me hit the wall
I gave you all my love, you took my soul to steal
Why couldn't you be real? Why couldn't you be real?

Now the truth is like a dagger, cutting through the pain
I'm walking from the darkness, I won't be fooled again
You were never my savior, you were never my shield
You were just another demon, you could never be real
