The Truth Lies In the Lyrics

Time and time again
No matter how hard I try
The truth in the lyrics
Gets me everytime
I ghosted you
To protect my heart 
Your words cut deep
The last we talked

When one moves on 
And the other stays still
You keep your game face on
Brave the facade...until 
There's no hiding the facts
Both know the reasons why
That if you didn't still love him
By now, you'd be fine
