[Verse 1]
You came home late
Cheap perfume on your sleeve
Lipstick on your collar
Thought I’d just believe
Kitchen light buzzing
Same old tired plea
You say she’s just a friend
But she could never be me
[Chorus]
She could never be me
Not in this old doorway
Not in this broke-down dream
She don’t know your bad days
Or what your silence means
You can pour her all your lies
Like some bargain rosé
But she could never be me
No
She could never be me
[Verse 2]
There’s a red stain on the counter
From last night’s wine
Glass still half full
Like the way you cross my mind
You keep sipping on temptation
From any open seam
But baby I’m the one
That held your busted seams
[Chorus]
She could never be me
Not in this old doorway
Not in this broke-down dream
She don’t know your bad days
Or what your silence means
You can pour her all your lies
Like some bargain rosé
But she could never be me
No
She could never be me
[Bridge]
I got years in these dishes
Secrets in this floor
I bled in your winters
Kept you warm through every war
So drink your dark confession
From her painted glass
But you can’t wash off a woman
Who already knows your past (mmm)
[Chorus]
She could never be me
Not in this old doorway
Not in this broke-down dream
She don’t know your bad days
Or what your silence means
You can pour her all your lies
Like some bargain rosé
But she could never be me
No
She could never be me
[Outro]
Take your bottle
Take your alibi
Take your crooked grin
I’ll keep my blues
My pride
You can keep your sin
’Cause she could never be me
She could never be me (oh no)
She could never be me
