You came home late, no sound at all
Your eyes avoid the bedroom wall
You kissed my cheek like nothing changed
But silence echoed louder than pain
I asked you once, you smiled and sighed
Like I was foolish for even trying
But in your stillness, I could feel
The truth too quiet to be real
And all the nights I stayed awake
Your warmth beside me felt so fake
You lied softly, like a song
So sweet, but everything was wrong
Your touch, your voice, the way you breathe
It all pretended to believe
But I was breaking underneath
You lied softly — and I believed
The perfume lingered on your coat
A scent that I don't even own
You turned away when I reached out
Like I was something you could doubt
We shared a home, but not the same bed
You dreamed elsewhere, I wept instead
You held me like I might let go
But I was the last to ever know
They say love fades, but lies remain
Like gentle drops of hidden rain
You lied softly, like a sigh
Not loud enough to ask you why
Your gaze, your hush, your practiced care
Were built on truths that weren’t there
I begged for love you wouldn't give
You lied softly — and I still live
I’d rather you screamed, I’d rather you ran
Than love me with someone else’s hand
But you stayed calm, you played it right
And stole my trust in quiet nights
You lied softly, like a hymn
A holy sound with broken skin
I kissed your lips, I closed my eyes
But deep inside, I heard the lies
And though I knew, I chose to stay
You lied softly — and I obeyed
You lied… so softly...
