Faded Script

The past is set, love turned to just a page In the book of time, my heart's still stuck in a cage A story pre-written, with time the script reveals But truth, a bitter pill, is what my soul now feels Asked where you were, said work was your gain But whispers got out, part-time lover, is that your game? I waited for our story, each moment I held dear But you revealed the ending, a twist that I did fear Boyfriend, or part-time girl, which role do you play? Offered my help, if you needed a penny, any day Why let them touch you, why let them hold you near? Told you not to sell yourself, but the price is now so clear Sleepless nights, it hits me hard, it all adds up to this You did it all for money, a venomous kiss Worried, heartbroken, lost and disappointed Turns out my love for you, it was one-sided, anointed Why's the main role in the story never been mine? Are we destined never to rewind? Our timeline's tangled, how do I unwind? How do I rewind? Looking back, each moment, it stings like cuts and scars My heart and mind are at war, battling the dark The trust we had, it crumbled, turned into stone All that's left are questions and the feeling of being alone I see it now, you were playing all along While I was writing love songs, you did me wrong Why let them touch you, why let them hold you near? Told you not to sell yourself, but the price is now so clear Sleepless nights, it hits me hard, it all adds up to this You did it all for money, a venomous kiss Worried, heartbroken, lost and disappointed Turns out my love for you, it was one-sided, anointed Why's the main role in the story never been mine? Are we destined never to rewind? Our timeline's tangled, how do I unwind? How do I rewind? Faded script, the pages now turn grey Another love story with a painful price to pay.
