God Sent Lie

[Verse 1]
I picked you up in the cold that night
Thought God finally sent me something right
You looked at me like I was safe and warm
Like I could be the one to keep you from the storm

You cried when you touched me, said you’d never leave
Made me feel like a woman, not just somebody’s relief
I was thirteen years clean, thought this time was real
Didn’t know I was just another place for you to heal

[Chorus]
You were a God-sent lie
Dressed up like a prayer
Held me like you meant it
Then left me there

God-sent lie
I believed that glare (I believed it)
God-sent lie
And you stripped me bare

[Verse 2]
Morning in the hallway, your shoes by the door
That same old silence I had sworn on before
You kissed my forehead like you owned my pain
Then disappeared the second I said your name

I keep the receipts, I keep the scars
I keep the truth under these broken stars
You wore a halo like a borrowed crown
But every blessing came with the lights turned down

[Chorus]
You were a God-sent lie
Dressed up like a prayer
Held me like you meant it
Then left me there

God-sent lie
I believed that glare (I believed it)
God-sent lie
And you stripped me bare

[Bridge]
I prayed for rescue
You answered first
Looked like salvation
Felt like a curse

Now I know better
I know your name
You took my healing
And called it grace

[Final Chorus]
You were a God-sent lie
Dressed up like a prayer
Held me like you meant it
Then left me there

God-sent lie
I survived that glare (I survived it)
God-sent lie
You don’t live here anymore
