The Bed You Made

[1st Verse]
In shadows cast by selfish dreams,
Beneath the lies, behind the scenes,
A man with tired, restless eyes,
Beneath the weight of empty skies.

He sought in fading, hollow nights,
A stolen touch, a false delight,
But in each secret, stolen kiss,
He lost the warmth of what he'd miss.

[Chorus]
The bed you made, a fortress of regret,
An empty space where love’s regret is set,
You turned away the one who stayed,
Now all that’s left is the bed you made.

[2nd Verse]
Her laughter was his dawn’s first light,
The love that made the dark feel right,
But webs of lies, too thick to see,
Entwined your soul in misery.

Each night you chased a ghost of thrill,
While morning broke with colder still,
No strangers touch, no passing kiss,
Could match the peace she used to give.

[Chorus]
The bed you made, a fortress of regret,
An empty space where love’s regret is set,
You turned away the one who stayed,
Now all that’s left is the bed you made.

[Bridge]
She left behind the silent pain,
A love once pure, now stained with shame,
No words could mend what’s torn apart,
Just echoes of a broken heart.

Now emptiness consumes the night,
A ghost of love, a fading light,
You gambled all for temporary bliss,
And lost the one you’ll always miss.

[Chorus]
The bed you made, a fortress of regret,
An empty space where love’s regret is set,
You turned away the one who stayed,
Now all that’s left is the bed you made.

[Outro]
Alone you sit in shadows deep,
A heart betrayed, a soul to keep,
The weight of what you’ve thrown away,
Lingers in the bed you made.
