Lyrics
Verse 1
The door swung open and the truth walked out,
Left its jacket on the chair and never came back around.
I remember your sleepy eyes in the kitchen light,
The way you'd laugh at my bad jokes every Friday night.
And I knew loving you was a gamble from the start,
But I still put all my chips down and handed you my heart.
Guess I was blinded by your beauty and the way you said my name,
Didn't see the fire coming till I was standing in the flames.
Pre-Chorus
You said forever like it was easy,
Now forever feels so far away.
Chorus
Guess I'm just a plate on the table now,
Used to hold your favourite meal somehow.
A moment ago I was valuable to you,
Now I'm collecting dust with the memories too.
Maybe I'm the villain in the story that you tell,
Maybe I'm the reason that your heaven turned to hell.
But nobody knows the reasons that I chose to leave,
And some truths are worth the judgment that people believe.
Verse 2
Cheating is a choice, not a road you accidentally find,
It's a hundred little moments where you leave the truth behind.
And cheating breaks trust faster than love can repair,
Like smashing every window and expecting sunlight there.
Water has no effect on fake flowers anyway,
I learned that lesson slowly watching colours wash away.
The person I almost destroyed myself for couldn't see,
The sacrifices hidden underneath the skin of me.
Pre-Chorus
And I still hear your voice on rainy nights,
But it don't sound the same these days.
Chorus
Guess I'm just a plate on the table now,
Used to hold your favourite meal somehow.
A moment ago I was valuable to you,
Now I'm collecting dust with the memories too.
Maybe I'm the villain in the story that you tell,
Maybe I'm the reason that your heaven turned to hell.
But nobody knows the reasons that I chose to leave,
And some truths are worth the judgment that people believe.
Bridge
My boys stayed beside me when the world got cold,
Loyalty ain't something that can ever be bought or sold.
And you looked so fine, like a glass of aged wine,
Sweet on my lips, but poison over time.
I don't hate you, I just hate what we became,
Two strangers holding matches, trying not to take the blame.
Final Chorus
Guess I'm just a plate on the table still,
Learning how to live with what I cannot heal.
The door opened and the truth disappeared from sight,
But maybe losing you helped me find my light.
And if one day regret comes knocking at your door,
I hope it shows you everything I was fighting for.
'Cause I gave you the pieces that I'll never get back,
And that's the kind of love that leaves a permanent crack.
Outro
The door opened...
The truth disappeared...
And somewhere in the silence,
I finally heard myself.
The door swung open and the truth walked out,
Left its jacket on the chair and never came back around.
I remember your sleepy eyes in the kitchen light,
The way you'd laugh at my bad jokes every Friday night.
And I knew loving you was a gamble from the start,
But I still put all my chips down and handed you my heart.
Guess I was blinded by your beauty and the way you said my name,
Didn't see the fire coming till I was standing in the flames.

Style of Music
Afto and acoustic storytelling, vulnerability, conversational lyrics, and emotional imagery—but I can't exactly copy his style or vocal mannerisms. His songs are often intimate, autobiographical, and emotionally direct. Vocal idea: Start softly with just acoustic guitar, almost like you're telling a story. Keep the verses conversational, then let the chorus open up emotionally with longer notes and more power, similar to a modern acoustic pop ballad.
