Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Soft,

melancholic

acoustic

guitar

picking) (

Deep,

breathy

sigh)

Yeah.

Three

years

of

building,

just

to

watch

the

walls

cave

in.

Listen.

You

came

to

my

door,

saying

the

rent

was

way

too

high,

Looking

for

a

shelter,

looking

for

a

place

to

dry.

I

opened

up

my

home,

I

gave

you

space

to

breathe,

For

three

long

years,

I

made

sure

you’

d

never

have

to

leave.

I

fed

you

from

my

table,

I

shared

the

light

I

had,

I

thought

we

were

a

team,

through

the

good

times

and

the

bad.

But

as

soon

as

the

job

ended,

as

soon

as

the

wind

changed,

You

left

me

in

the

silence,

feeling

cold

and

so

estranged.

Oh,

the

promises

we

made

were

just

dust

in

the

breeze,

You

traded

my

kindness

for

the

keys

to

a

new

Benz,

please.

You

took

my

heart

and

gave

me

shadows

in

return,

Watching

all

the

bridges

that

you

promised

not

to

burn.

Yeah,

the

love

was

a

lesson,

but

the

price

was

far

too

steep,

Now

I’

m

left

alone

with

the

secrets

that

I

keep.

And

then

there’

s

the

pastor,

whispering

behind

my

back,

Trying

to

steal

my

clients,

keeping

my

business

off

the

track.

Using

the

name

of

heaven

to

tear

a

person

down,

Acting

like

a

saint

while

you’

re

the

snake

inside

this

town.

I

helped

you

when

you

fell,

I

gave

you

my

own

hand,

But

you

turned

it

into

poison,

trying

to

steal

my

stand.

They

call

it

one

katanacio,

the

way

you

play

the

game,

Building

your

own

fortune

on

the

ruins

of

my

name.

Oh,

the

promises

we

made

were

just

dust

in

the

breeze,

You

traded

my

kindness

for

the

keys

to

a

new

Benz,

please.

You

took

my

heart

and

gave

me

shadows

in

return,

Watching

all

the

bridges

that

you

promised

not

to

burn.

Yeah,

the

love

was

a

lesson,

but

the

price

was

far

too

steep,

Now

I’

m

left

alone

with

the

secrets

that

I

keep.

I’

m

done

with

the

fakes,

I’

m

done

with

the

lies,

I’

m

wiping

all

the

sorrow

from

these

tired,

weary

eyes.

If

kindness

is

a

weakness,

then

I’

ve

learned

my

lesson

well,

I’

m

stepping

out

of

heaven,

I’

m

walking

out

of

hell.

I’

ll

treat

you

like

the

mud

that

you

threw

against

my

gate,

Learn

to

guard

my

boundaries

before

it

gets

too

late.

Oh,

the

promises

we

made

were

just

dust

in

the

breeze,

You

traded

my

kindness

for

the

keys

to

a

new

Benz,

please.

You

took

my

heart

and

gave

me

shadows

in

return,

Watching

all

the

bridges

that

you

promised

not

to

burn.

Yeah,

the

love

was

a

lesson,

but

the

price

was

far

too

steep,

Now

I’

m

left

alone

with

the

secrets

that

I

keep.

Three

years

of

shadows...

Now

I

see

the

light.

No

more

playing

the

saint.

Just

moving

on. (

piano
