When our Hearts Deceive

I once believed every word you said

Every promise carved into my mind

But the truth hides in the shadows instead

Where our whispered lies were left behind

Now I see the cracks in every smile

Every secret tear every stolen while

When our hearts deceive I'm left here all alone

Trying to salvage what's already overthrown

All those tender vows now words of regret

In a love that's fading fast and I can't forget

I've reached for hope in every midnight call

Believing in a future that could be ours

But truth fell like rain and now I recall

The quiet ache of shattered dying stars

Every gentle touch now feels so cold

Every promise tarnished lost and sold

When our hearts deceive I'm left here all alone

Trying to hold on to what's long since flown

Every whispered dream dissolves into the night

Leaving nothing but regrets in fading light

I wonder where the honesty has gone

In the spaces where our laughter once shone

All that's left are fragments of what we knew

A silent reminder of a love untrue

When our hearts deceive I'm left to face the pain

Tracing every step through this lonely rain

Though I reach for love it slips like sand through my hand

When our hearts deceive there's nothing left to believe

In the quiet aftermath of all we had

I mourn the truth behind the beautiful façade

Though time may heal these wounds I still grieve

For the love we lost when our hearts deceived
