Caught in the glow of painted smiles,
I mistook the masquerade of styles.
Every laugh, a rehearsed facade,
In your eyes, I fell for the mirage.
Traded whispers in the night,
I thought we soared, that was my plight.
Now I see, it's all just a game,
One you play, without any shame.
Am I just chasing echoes, lost in this charade?
Seeking truth in shadows, where only facades are made.
I need more than surface, more than a fleeting role,
Seeking a woman who understands and embraces my soul.
Girl, you've got me pausing, wondering who
Spending moments in thought, just a few
Why should I trade my true identity
For a love that won't cherish my sincerity?
Another night, another charade,
Faces smile, their warmth just a shade.
Each connection, a curated pose,
Emotions veiled, nothing truly shows.
In this dance of the insincere,
I find no comfort, only the veneer.
Yearning for a truth that seems so rare,
A genuine heart, not this empty affair.
Girl, you've got me pausing, wondering who
Spending moments in thought, just a few
Why should I trade my true identity
For a love that won't cherish my sincerity?
I'm stepping off this stage you set,
Unmasked, with no regret.
Alone, but strong, I stand, you see-
Complete, at peace, I'm simply me.
