I let you in, gave you my light

Never thought the ones closest would bite

Every laugh, every secret I shared

Now it’s ashes, and you’re never there

I wore my heart on my sleeve

You tore it apart with every lie

Thought you were my safe place

But you were just a shadow passing by

(Add subtle synth swells to make the pre-chorus rise, pulling the listener in emotionally.)

Shadows in my circle, you weren’t real

Promised forever, left me to heal

Toxic whispers, smiles that deceive

I gave my all, and all you did was leave

(Layered harmonies on “leave” – make it echo with emotional weight.)

And now I’m learning to breathe on my own

Cutting the chains, finding my home

Your poison is fading, but the scars remain

I’ll rise from your fire, I’ll stand through the pain

(Make the chorus slightly anthemic, so it sticks in the listener’s mind.)

I counted on you, nights turned to fights

Empty apologies, never made it right

Every word that you spoke, I believed

But you were just taking, never giving me relief

(Introduce a soft, haunting guitar melody to emphasize loneliness.)

I thought friends were forever,

Now I’m learning better

Every smile you faked, a knife in my chest

I trusted you more than I should’ve… confessed

(Layer strings subtly behind the vocals; let each line hang to emphasize betrayal.)

Shadows in my circle, you weren’t real

Promised forever, left me to heal

Toxic whispers, smiles that deceive

I gave my all, and all you did was leave

But I’m stronger now, feel the light in me

Breaking your chains, finally free

Your poison is fading, my heart will mend

I’ll rise from your ashes, I’ll find the end

Shadows fade, I’m stepping out

No more lies, no more doubt

I’ll carry the lessons, not the pain

Toxic friends won’t haunt me again

(Soft piano fade with gentle echo of “again,” leaving a bittersweet but empowering feeling.)
