Whispers
I kept the door unlocked,
didn't lock the chain Thought you were the shelter from the wind
and rain Shared the quiet hours,
told you all my fears Laughed until it hurt us,
wiped away each other's tears Now I'm standing in the wreckage of
a trust I thought was strong Looking at the faces that I've
known so damn long And the silence in the room is heavy
as stone Looking at my circle,
and I've never felt so alone.
Etched in the mirror,
a knife in the back
Coming from the shadows on a familiar track You don't get wounded
by a stranger in the street It's the ones you break your
bread with,
the ones you call your team
Yeah,
the deepest cuts are carved by a friendly hand
Leaving me to wonder how I missed the lie-land.
Every word you whispered behind closed doors Trading all my secrets like
they were yours How'd you look me in the eye and smile
to my face While you were quietly erasing every trace?
I replay the memories,
trying to find the sign Where the lines got blurred and you
crossed right over mine It hurts worse than losing,
'cause you didn't have to fight You just let me walk right
blindly into the night.
They say time heals the stinging,
time clears the air Right now it's just echoes of you standing
there I'll rebuild the fences,
but I'll check the lock twice Hard to give your trust out
when you've paid the price
I won't let this harden the good left in my soul Even
if it takes a minute just to feel whole.
Etched in the mirror,
a knife in the back Coming from the shadows on a familiar
track
You don't get wounded by a stranger in the street It's the
ones you break your bread with,
the ones you call your team
Yeah, the deepest cuts are carved by a friendly hand
Leaving me to wonder how I missed the lie-land.
Yeah, a friendly hand.
Thought you were close.
Guess I hurt the most.
Walking away now.
I'm walking away.
