[Verse 1]
Clip in hand, finger on the trigger
Should’ve pulled, but the pressure just got bigger
My brother stepped in, caught my hand and stopped it
Deep in the dark, yeah, I almost dropped it
Family getting smaller at the kitchen table
Empty seats where we used to be stable
Friends falling off when the checks stop clearing
Voices in my head, man, the shadows are nearing
[Chorus]
Relationships don't exist anymore
Just ghosts walking through a slamming door
Being nice only gets you burnt to ash
Trust turned to smoke in a sudden flash
Yeah, love is fake, it’s a manufactured lie
Just another reason to sit down and cry
[Verse 2]
I used to give my all, now I give my back
Walking down a lonely one-way railroad track
Every handshake hiding a blade behind it
Look for the loyalty, you’re never gonna find it
People only call when they need a favor
Tasting bitterness, ain't no sweet savior
I’m cutting all the cord, I'm locking up the gate
Living in the truth and I'm owning my fate
[Chorus]
Relationships don't exist anymore
Just ghosts walking through a slamming door
Being nice only gets you burnt to ash
Trust turned to smoke in a sudden flash
Yeah, love is fake, it’s a manufactured lie
Just another reason to sit down and cry
[Outro]
Finger off the trigger now
I see the light somehow
No more fake love
No more looking up
Just me and the cold hard truth
(Yeah)
