Lyrics
Verse 1 Screen lit up, your face in the glow, Laughin’ with shadows I ain’t meant to know. Whiskey’s burnin’, but it don’t kill the pain, Your voice, their hands, it’s tearin’ up my brain. Pre-Chorus I trusted your lies, fell for every word, Now I’m drownin’ in the truth I wish I hadn’t heard. Chorus You gave me forever, but you meant it for a while — I gave you my heart, you gave me back a smile. Love isn’t enough when the storm clouds come — It’s a promise in the sunlight, but it’s gone by the dawn. Verse 2 I blocked your ass faster than a bullet leaves a gun, Erased your sweet nothin’s, left your memory undone. But this bottle’s still heavy, and the night’s still long, Your betrayal’s a chorus to a lonesome, bitter song. Pre-Chorus I see it all now, the truth in the flame, But I’m the damn fool who’s still cursin’ your name. Chorus You gave me forever, but you meant it for a while — I gave you my heart, you gave me back a smile. Love isn’t enough when the storm clouds come — It’s a promise in the sunlight, but it’s gone by the dawn. Bridge Was I just a spark you let burn out and fade? A heart you could steal, then toss in the shade? This guitar’s my witness, these strings bleed my cry, I’m done with your games, but I’m too broke to lie. Chorus You gave me forever, but you meant it for a while — I gave you my heart, you gave me back a smile. Love isn’t enough when the storm clouds come — It’s a promise in the sunlight, but it’s gone by the dawn. Outro Screen’s gone dark, but the hurt’s still alive, Love ain’t enough to keep this soul revived. Gone by the dawn… gone by the dawn. (Fade to silence)
