Lyrics
[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint vinyl crackle]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 1 – muted bassline, slow snare taps]
I stepped in when their voice went quiet
Said the words they wouldn’t try it
You stood there like you didn’t know me
Turned around and said I left you lonely
[Pre-Chorus – swelling background vocals, subtle synth hum]
I felt the weight of your cold stare
Wondered how I ended up right here
All the courage I’d mustered faded
When you cut me down before I made it
[Chorus – full R&B beat, warm piano chords]
You said I didn’t have your back
While I was fighting off the attack
You told me to shut my mouth
While you hid behind the crowd
Now every promise feels like a lie
That’s why I keep my guard up high
I don’t trust the words that people say
Not after the way you turned away
[Verse 2 – layered vocal harmonies, gentle shaker]
They laughed loud, you looked at your shoes
I spoke up, you had nothing to lose
But you tossed me under the bus fast
Said I made things worse, that I didn’t last
[Pre-Chorus – building string swells, tighter snare]
I still taste the bitter taste of your blame
Watched the trust we had go up in flames
I tried to be your shield from the noise
But you pushed me out like I was a choice
[Chorus – richer vocal layers, deeper bass]
You said I didn’t have your back
While I was fighting off the attack
You told me to shut my mouth
While you hid behind the crowd
Now every promise feels like a lie
That’s why I keep my guard up high
I don’t trust the words that people say
Not after the way you turned away
[Interlude – stripped-down piano solo, reverb-drenched]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Bridge – sparse beat, raw unfiltered vocals]
I still replay that day in my head
Wondering where I misread
The way you needed me to stand
Only to watch you break my hand
[Final Chorus – full band, emotional vocal runs]
You said I didn’t have your back
While I was fighting off the attack
You told me to shut my mouth
While you hid behind the crowd
Now every face feels like a disguise
That’s why I keep my heart locked tight
I don’t trust the ones who claim they care
Not after the way you left me there
[Outro – fading piano, soft vocal ad-lib]
Silent alibi, broken trust
I won’t let that happen twice, no
