Lyrics
[Verse]
The whiskey burns but not like your eyes
When they met mine full of lies
I built this cage with my own two hands
Now the key won't fit, won't understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word I spoke was a nail in the wood
Every truth I choked, where I never stood
The shadows dance with my regrets tonight
But the mirror won't lie in the pale moonlight
[Chorus]
Oh, these whispers of the broken truth
Echo through the hollows of my youth
I wear the weight of every word untrue
Like a crown of thorns I can't undo
[Verse]
Your voice still lingers in the empty hall
Like a ghost I can't outrun, can't recall
The man I was before the fall from grace
Now just a stranger in this haunted place
[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise made turned to dust in my hands
Every tear you cried built these walls where I stand
The clock ticks slow but the past won't fade
Just a symphony of mistakes I've played
[Chorus]
Oh, these whispers of the broken truth
Echo through the hollows of my youth
I wear the weight of every word untrue
Like a crown of thorns I can't undo
[Bridge]
If silence could heal, I'd never speak again
But the damage is done, no way to pretend
The strings are cut, the curtain's drawn
Left with the wreckage of the trust I've torn
[Chorus]
Oh, these whispers of the broken truth
Echo through the hollows of my youth
I wear the weight of every word untrue
Like a crown of thorns I can't undo
[Chorus]
Oh, these whispers of the broken truth
Echo through the hollows of my youth
I wear the weight of every word untrue
Like a crown of thorns I can't undo
