Was Any of It Real (Version One)

Was Any of It Real (Version One) Lyrics You painted me a heaven with a thousand shades of gold, Built a fire in my chest, then left me in the cold. Every promise was a lighthouse shining through the rain, But I followed all your words straight into a hurricane. Now I'm standing in the wreckage of the life I thought we'd share, Screaming questions at the silence, but there's nobody there. You said I meant the world to you, was that just something you said? Were your words like dying flowers, beautiful but dead? Did you ever feel the things you swore you felt for me? Or was I just a passing ship upon your empty sea? I held your words like diamonds, kept them buried in my soul, Now they cut me like shattered glass, leaving wounds that won't close. Tell me, was there ever truth beneath your perfect disguise? Or was I just another fool who believed your pretty lies? I keep searching through the ashes for a reason to believe, But every answer turns to smoke and disappears from me. WAS ANYTHING YOU SAID REAL? OR WAS EVERYTHING A LIE? Was I holding on to something That was never even mine? Did you mean it when you loved me? Or was love just a word you learned to steal? I gave you everything inside me— TELL ME, WAS ANY OF IT REAL? I replay every conversation like a record scratched in time, Searching for the moment when your heart stopped beating next to mine. Were your promises like castles made of sand against the tide? Did you smile while I was drowning in the ocean of your lies? You were sunlight through my window, you were shelter from the storm, Now your memory feels like winter where I once believed in warmth. If it was all a lie, then why'd you make it feel so true? Why'd you build a thousand dreams you never meant to see me through? Was I a chapter in your story that you couldn't wait to close? Just another dying ember in a fire you never chose? I DON'T NEED ANOTHER PROMISE! I DON'T NEED ANOTHER LIE! I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF I WAS EVER REAL IN YOUR EYES! WAS ANYTHING YOU SAID REAL? OR WAS EVERYTHING A LIE? Did you ever truly need me, Or just need me standing by? Was I someone you once cared for? Or a shadow you could leave behind? I built my whole world around your words WHILE YOU WERE TEARING DOWN MINE! And if every word was fiction, If your love was just pretend, Then tell me why I'm still here Trying to understand the end. You walked away with all the answers, Left me with wounds that never heal... And the cruelest part of losing you Is not knowing what was real.
