Played Me Like a Saxophone

Prompt

"Smoke & Lies" — a jazz original (Verse 1) Baby, you poured whiskey in my glass of trust, Told me forever, left me drownin' in the dust. I was singin' soft while the city lights were low, Didn't see the shadow walkin' out the door. (Chorus) Oh, you played me like a saxophone, Sweet on stage, then you left me alone. Smoke and lies, that's all you ever gave, Now I'm hummin' blues in a lonely, cold café. (Verse 2) Said you'd never leave me, swore it on the moon, But the band stopped playin' our love too soon. Found her perfume on the collar of your coat, Now every word you sang me feels like a broken note. (Chorus) Oh, you played me like a saxophone, Sweet on stage, then you left me alone. Smoke and lies, that's all you ever gave, Now I'm hummin' blues in a lonely, cold café. (Bridge — slow, spoken-sung) Trumpet cries where my heart used to be, Every love song's just a memory. You took the rhythm, left me out of time, Now I'm dancin' with a ghost of what was mine. (Final Chorus — softer, fading) Still you play me like a saxophone, Echoes of a love I can't disown. Smoke and lies, but the music stays, I'll keep swingin' through these lonely jazz cafés.
