Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said your family might be “a lot”
I laughed it off
Thought
“how bad could it be?”
But she opened that door like a final boss
And stared straight through me
Black coffee
Colder than her stare
Every word a little poisoned dart
She carved my name into the table
Then underlined it with my heart
[Chorus]
If mother-in-laws were a deal breaker
Yours would be the smoking gun
She’s the curse in the cathedral
She’s the shadow on the sun
If mother-in-laws were a deal breaker
We’d be over
We’d be done
But I’m still here at your table
Trying not to turn and run
[Verse 2]
She asked my job
Then asked it twice
Like she was counting all my sins
Measured my shoes
My teeth
My laugh
Wondering how you let me in
She kissed your cheek
Then cut me down
With a smile sharp as broken glass
Said
“You’ll grow out of this mistake”
Like I was destined not to last
[Chorus]
If mother-in-laws were a deal breaker
Yours would be the smoking gun
She’s the curse in the cathedral
She’s the shadow on the sun
If mother-in-laws were a deal breaker
We’d be over
We’d be done
But I’m still here at your table
Trying not to turn and run
[Bridge]
Maybe love’s a loaded pact
Maybe this is part of it
You hold my hand beneath the plates
I feel your fingers
Say “don’t quit” (don’t quit)
[Chorus]
If mother-in-laws were a deal breaker
Yours would be the smoking gun
She’s the omen in the doorway
She’s the silence when I’m stunned
If mother-in-laws were a deal breaker
We’d be over
We’d be done
But I’ll stare right down her dagger eyes
For one more chance at us
My one
