Hồ Duy Groove - Silent Strings, Loud Ghosts Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Found your picture in Singapore
With children I never knew before
Mama's tears hit the kitchen floor
While that đàn bầu plays like never before

[Chorus]
Two homes, two lives, one broken heart
Your secrets tore my world apart
Can't trust a damn thing anymore
Since I found out what you were living for

[Verse 2]
Every smile was a perfect lie
Every story had an alibi
You played us both like that steel string
While your other sons were flourishing

[Bridge]
Oh Lord, these blues run deep in my soul
Your deception's taken such a toll
Silence screams louder than words
The truth's the meanest thing I ever heard

[Verse 3]
Now I'm walking these midnight streets
While your ghost still haunts every beat
That old slide guitar cries my pain
Like monsoon season's pouring rain

[Chorus]
Two homes, two lives, one broken heart
Your secrets tore my world apart
Can't trust a damn thing anymore
Since I found out what you were living for

[Outro]
The strings may bend but they don't break
Unlike the promises you didn't make
Your blood runs through these tired veins
But your lies, old man, they'll always remain
