toxic friend and forbidden love

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strum, faint reverb] Sunlight filters through cracked glass Your laugh hangs like a broken mask [Verse 1 – quiet guitar picking, subtle bass line] You text me at 2 a.m. with a fake apology Said you didn’t mean to spill my secrets to the city I sit and stare at the screen, fingers frozen still Wishing I could unlearn the way your voice used to thrill [Pre-Chorus – rising synth hum, light drum tap] You’re the thorn in my side I can’t pull free But he’s the one who makes my quiet heart bleed [Chorus – layered vocals, swelling strings, steady drum beat] You’re the poison I keep sipping when I’m weak He’s the love I can’t reach, just out of peak Every smile you fake cuts deeper than a knife Trapped between the wrong and the forbidden life [Verse 2 – slightly louder guitar, added shaker] You drag me out to parties to watch him dance with her Whisper lies about how he’d never look at me, sir I fake a laugh and sip my drink until my head spins Pretending I don’t see the way he keeps glancing in [Pre-Chorus – building synth, heavier drum pulse] You’re the fire that burns me slow and low He’s the water I crave, but I can’t let it show [Chorus – fuller arrangement, harmonies, emotional vocal delivery] You’re the poison I keep sipping when I’m weak He’s the love I can’t reach, just out of peak Every smile you fake cuts deeper than a knife Trapped between the wrong and the forbidden life [Bridge – stripped back acoustic guitar, soft vocal harmonies] I know I should walk away from your twisted game But I’m scared of the quiet if I say your name And he’ll never know how I stay up all night Wishing I could be the one to hold him tight [Interlude – dreamy synth pad, distant guitar melody] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full band, soaring vocals, maximum emotional intensity] You’re the poison I keep sipping when I’m weak He’s the love I can’t reach, just out of peak I’m tired of living in this tangled, bitter strife Caught between the toxic and the forbidden life [Outro – fading guitar, soft synth hum, whispered vocal] Sunlight fades to broken dark Your laugh fades, but the ache leaves a mark
