(Verse 1) Yo, listen up, let me tell you 'bout a tale 'Bout a girl named Hope, and how she set sail She was smooth, had a sparkle in her eyes But little did I know, it was all just a disguise We were tight, walkin' down the same lane Thought she had my back, we were in the same game But life's a tricky mistress, she had different plans Hope played her hand, left me in sinking sands (Chorus) Why'd you have to lie, Hope, my dear friend? Used to believe in you, but now it all ends You made promises, but they were just thin air I'm left standing here, drowning in despair (Verse 2) She whispered sweet words, painted dreams so clear But behind the mask, deception grew near I held on tight, believed in every line But little did I know, she'd leave me behind She said she'd never go, said she'd always stay But when times got tough, she just walked away Her lies cut deep, like a knife through the heart So much trust lost, it's like a shattered work of art (Chorus) Why'd you have to lie, Hope, my dear friend? Used to believe in you, but now it all ends You made promises, but they were just thin air I'm left standing here, drowning in despair (Verse 3) I've learned the hard way, the truth can be cruel Hope had to lie, that was her twisted rule Maybe she thought I couldn't handle the truth But dishonesty just brings a bitter, bitter fruit Now I build my strength, rise above the pain No longer blinded, no longer her game I'll find a better path, where trust can be true But Hope, I won't forget what you put me through (Chorus) Why'd you have to lie, Hope, my dear friend? Used to believe in you, but now it all ends You made promises, but they were just thin air I'm left standing here, drowning in despair (Outro) Hope, you may have lied, but I won't crumble I'll find a new light, a hope that won't stumble Your lies won't define me, I'll find my own way And leave behind the pain of yesterday.
