Practiced Liar

I saw the distance the moment you came
Your eyes confessed but you spoke my name
The way you touched me was hollow and cold
A story rehearsed, a lie retold

You wore his shadow like a second skin
I reached for you but he pulled me in
You laid beside me with a practiced grace
But I felt the fracture written on your face

Every word you spoke was thin and strained
Every move revealed what you couldn't contain

You carried his echo inside your eyes
Came back home with rehearsed replies
His presence lingered where your love should be
You reached for me but you never touched me
The silence between us is louder than fire
I sleep with a stranger, a practiced liar

The love you wore was a borrowed disguise
A costume sewn from a thousand lies
You dressed in devotion that didn't belong
A mask you kept wearing to prove me wrong

The home we built became theater and stage
Where forever collapsed in a single act's rage
You smiled like nothing was broken inside
But the truth was a wound you could never hide

Every word you spoke was thin and strained
Every move revealed what you couldn't contain

You carried his echo inside your eyes
Came back home with rehearsed replies
His presence lingered where your love should be
You reached for me but you never touched me
The silence between us is louder than fire
I sleep with a stranger, a practiced liar

I hear the lines you tried to recite
But the cracks in your voice expose the night
Every word you speak is paper thin
I tear through the script you're hiding within

You spread your legs, I'm sure your moans were clear
Was he everything you imagined he'd be my dear?
I bet his lips tasted good, like it was something you missed
But you were just another hole and were crossed off his list

You carried his echo inside your eyes
Came back home with rehearsed replies
His presence lingered where your love should be
You reached for me but you never touched me
The silence between us is louder than fire
I sleep with a stranger, a practiced liar
