Danced With My Demons

You didn't drink, but you loved the crowd Chasing their laughter, shouting too loud

I thought I was your anchor, but you said, say, oh, well Left me in shadows, my heart turned pale

I loved you through the chaos, loved you through the light You danced with my fate under baroque skies

You took my trust and dropped it on the floor And even in the dark, I still wanted more

Whispered sweet nothings to someone new Knew I couldn't trust you, but I wanted to

When I fell apart, you turned your back Called me weak, said I should unpack

I loved you through the chaos, loved you through the fight While you danced with my tears beneath neon lights

Beneath neon lights

Lost in the memories, a heart worn thin Searching for the echoes of what might have been

You played your part like a perfect lie No more tears, just reasons why

I loved you through the chaos, loved you through the light While you danced with my demons, I hid my pride

You took my faith and slammed the door But even in the dark, I kept wanting more

You loved the stage, I played the fool Breaking my heart was your golden rule

You made a promise, then you disappeared Said you'd stay close, but you kept your fear

Now I'm the ghost in your afterglow You reap what you fake, and I let you go

You wanted the thrill, well, here's your fame I'll write the song, you'll hear your name

Whispered sweet nothings to someone new Knew I couldn't trust you, but I wanted to

You took my heart and left your mark Now I'm shining brighter in the dark

I loved you through the chaos, loved you through the fight But you danced with my pain

And I said goodnight, and I said goodnight

So here's to the silence, to love that slipped away

You may have broken me, but I'm okay

Trapped in these shadows, I finally see The chaos is gone, and I'm still me
