Deception

I met a guy, thought he was the one, Cool vibes, laughs, man, we had some fun, But shadows in his eyes, yeah, they cast a spell, Fighting demons daily, trapped in his own hell. I tried to reach out, but he’s lost in the grind, Chasing ghosts, leaving real ones behind, I get the struggle, but it cuts like a knife, Wanted more than moments, I was craving life. Late-night talks turned to silence and doubt, I’m here with my heart, but he’s stuck in the rout, I understand the pain, it’s a heavy load, But it still hurts deep, when love's on the road. Wishing he could see the light through the haze, But he’s running from the past, caught in a maze, I’m standing strong, but it’s hard to stay true, When you’re fighting your demons, can’t make time for new.
