Lyric

You left like a lie

[Verse 1]

Used to walk these streets with you, umbrella in the rain

Now I'm walkin' by myself, got nothin' left to gain

You were my remedy, now you're just the pain

I keep replayin' every moment like a hurricane

Thought our love was permanent, turned out it was paint

Looked like a masterpiece but faded like a saint

I was holdin' on to somethin' that was already gone

Puttin' all my faith in you like a cornerstone

(Fast rap)

Brooklyn nights, city lights, had you on my mind

Every word you ever said got left behind

Tried to read between the lines but I was blind

Now I'm searchin' for a peace I cannot find

[Hook]

I loved you like a anthem, you left like a lie

Held you like the summer, you faded like July

I'm standin' in the ashes of an alibi

Wishin' I could reach you but you're way too high

[Verse 2]

Remember when you told me that forever was a fact

Now forever's just a word and you ain't comin' back

I been stackin' up my feelings like they're railroad tracks

Leadin' to a destination I can't navigate the map

You were my motivation, now you're my affliction

Every time I close my eyes it's like an contradiction

Said you needed liberation, I said take your time

Didn't know that liberation meant you'd take what's mine

(Fast rap)

Cold November, I remember every single night

Tried to hold it all together but I lost the fight

Wrote a thousand words for you but none of them were right

Now I'm rappin' in the dark just to find the light

[Bridge]

(Half-time)

Pain and rain — they rhyme for a reason

Love and above — it changes every season

Real and feel — that's all I know

Heal and reveal — watch the river flow

I gave you everything, you gave me a lesson

Every scar you left became my greatest blessing

Couldn't see it then but now I'm second-guessin'

Every single moment — that was heaven's testin'

[Hook]

I loved you like a anthem, you left like a lie

Held you like the summer, you faded like July

I'm standin' in the ashes of an alibi

Wishin' I could reach you but you're way too high

[Outro]

(Slow rap)

Yeah… anthem / lie / July / alibi / high

Every rhyme I drop is just a way to survive

You were my reason, now you're my drive

Lost you to the city but I'm still alive

Still alive… still alive…
