Omni Lich - Fallen Circle
This song represents the betrayal of friends over the betrayal by one person, Sometimes the people we consider our closest friends can also be our biggest downfall in the end, I wrote this song for a recent event that happened to myself. I do hope you guys appreciate the song.
[Verse 1]
You were my brothers, my ride-or-die,
I never thought you'd watch me cry.
We built a world, we shared our dreams,
But behind my back, you tore the seams.
Laughter turned to whispers in the dark,
You plotted while you left your mark.
The trust I gave, you let it bleed,
Left me alone when I had a need.
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t see the shift in your eyes,
Didn’t hear the truth buried in lies.
Now everything’s shattered, left in the past,
And I’m standing in a world that didn’t last.
[Chorus]
How could you betray me this way?
Turn your backs and walk away?
The scars you left, they won’t ever fade,
I’m drowning here in the mess you made.
You tore down what we once had,
Turned something good into something bad.
I forgive you now, but it’s too late,
The damage is done, and I can’t escape.
[Verse 2]
You whispered secrets, spread your lies,
Twisted the truth, while I fell behind.
Everything we built, you watched it burn,
My trust in you was never returned.
We were a team, or so I believed,
But you were scheming while I was deceived.
The bonds we had, you broke them all,
Now I’m left to rise after the fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t see the darkness grow,
Didn’t feel the cold wind blow.
Now I’m staring at a fractured past,
And I know our friendship couldn’t last.
[Chorus]
How could you betray me this way?
Turn your backs and walk away?
The scars you left, they won’t ever fade,
I’m drowning here in the mess you made.
You tore down what we once had,
Turned something good into something bad.
I forgive you now, but it’s too late,
The damage is done, and I can’t escape.
[Bridge]
I needed you when the world caved in,
But you left me in the storm, again and again.
You smiled while you fed the flames,
Now nothing we had will ever be the same.
I hope you find the peace you seek,
In the silence, when you're too weak.
I’m stronger now, but the scars remain,
I’ve let you go, but I’ll never be the same.
[Chorus]
How could you betray me this way?
Turn your backs and walk away?
The scars you left, they won’t ever fade,
I’m drowning here in the mess you made.
You tore down what we once had,
Turned something good into something bad.
I forgive you now, but it’s too late,
The damage is done, and I can’t escape.
[Extended Chorus]
How could you tear us all apart?
I gave you everything, gave my heart.
Now every piece of me is cracked,
I’m still standing, but can’t look back.
You burned the bridges, left me cold,
The stories we shared, now they’re untold.
I’ll forgive, but I’ll never forget,
You were the worst kind of regret.
[Outro]
So take the lies you weaved so tight,
And wear them like a crown at night.
I forgive you for turning away,
But the weight of your betrayal will always stay.
What we had can’t be repaired,
But I hope you live with the scars you wear.
The damage is done, and you can’t erase,
The pain that fills this empty space.
