[Verse 1 ]
Five years of laughter, secrets in the dark,
She painted futures, lit a phantom spark.
Took off her ring, laid her past away,
Believing tomorrow was their new day.

[Chorus 1]
She thought your love was the sun at the core,
A radiant fire she’d been searching for.
But the stars fell silent, the heavens turned cold,
Her soul vanished in a black hole.

[Verse 2]
She reached for your hand, thought love would stay,
But silence screamed and you pulled away.
The office walls still echo her plea,
But her truth was never meant to be.

[Chorus 2]
She took off her ring, let the night begin,
Velvet whispers pulling you in.
Her touch was tender, her voice was flame,
She swore your heart would feel the same.

[Bridge]
She never meant to cause you pain,
Now regret is all that remains.
Dejected, broken, left undone,
Her song of sorrow has begun.

[Outro]
She took off her ring, thought you’d understand,
But the dream slipped through her trembling hand.
Now she sings to ghosts, alone in the rain,
Her voice is nothing but sorrow and shame.
