CHEATER

The coffee’s cold, the porch light’s still on
But you’re carrying a scent that don’t belong
You didn't say a word when you walked through the door
But the silence is louder than it’s ever been before.
I’m looking for the "us" in the way you look away
Searching for a lie that’s worth letting you stay.
​Pre-Chorus
​And I’m tracing the cracks in the ceiling tonight
Counting the shadows, avoiding the light
Because the truth is a ghost in the corner of the room
And I’m not ready for the mourning to bloom.
​Chorus
​You didn't break my heart, you let it slow-burn
To a handful of ash at every wrong turn.
It’s the ghost of a touch on your shoulder blade
It’s the price of a promise that you never paid.
I’m sleeping beside a stranger I know
Watching the love that we built start to snow
Cold and quiet, covering the floor...
I don’t even know what I’m fighting for anymore.
​Verse 2
​I found a receipt in the pocket of your coat
A dinner for two, a small handwritten note.
While I was at home, keeping your dinner warm
You were seeking the shelter of a different storm.
The worst part isn't that you went and strayed
It's that you came back home and acted like you stayed.
​Bridge
​Is she soft? Is she kind? Does she know my name?
Does she know she’s a part of this hollow game?
Or is she just like me—believing every word?
The most beautiful lies I have ever heard #brokenheart #music #lyrics #lovesong #heartbreak #emotional #ballad #acousticballad
