n3xther - the promise i pretend (rearranged vers ) lyrics

[verse 1]
he says he’s found the perfect match
a golden fate, a n0ble thread
the crown i never chose to chase
now binds me in a silken snare

a smile blooms on broken glass
the golden knight they say is kind
but kindness can’t erase the stain
of love that tastes like chains

[pre+chorus]
so i dance, so i shine
i play the dream
if i cry, let it be
where no one else can see

[chorus]
this is the promise i pretend
this is the love i must defend
though every word tastes just like pain
i sing it sweet like summer rain
don’t let them see the fear i keep
behind the vows i swore in sleep
i smile until the ending bends—
this is the promise i pretend
[verse 2]
he holds me close, a soft command
he calls my name like it’s a prayer
i know the rules, i understand
one wrong word and i bleed red

so i whisper what he needs to hear
a lie laced in devotion’s thread
i’ll play the saint, i’ll kneel and stay
and pray my thoughts stay in my head

[pre+chorus]
so i lie, i say
the lines they play
but deep inside
i dream of running away

[chorus]
this is the promise i pretend
this is the love i must defend
though every word tastes just like pain
i sing it sweet like summer rain
don’t let them see the fear i keep
behind the vows i swore in sleep
the girl beneath who can’t ascend
trapped in the promise she pretends
[bridge]
will someone see me, hear my breath?
or must i serve this vow ’til death?
i beg the stars, i plead the sun
don’t let me die for anyone

[final chorus]
this is the promise i pretend
this is the truth i twist and bend
behind the lace and holy thread
a heart too terrified to tread
but if i must be what they need
then let me rot behind the creed
i’ll bow until the curtains end
this is the promise i pretend
