Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You wore that Sunday smile Shook every crooked hand in town Told ’em I was wild Unstable While you pinned my shaking shoulders down You kissed my bruises in the mirror Then swore they came from me You turned my friends into a jury And fed them your perjury [Chorus] But I was not the monster you sold them I was bleeding in the dark where you told me to stay You painted me in ashes and called it my name But I walked through your fire and I’m burning your blame I was not the monster you sold them I was the girl you tried to break then bury alive Now I’m driving past the house where you swallowed my light With my real love on the right And my scars in my rearview tonight [Verse 2] He found me cussing at a bar tab Finger on the self-destruct Said “You look like you lost a war But you still know how to stand back up” (yeah) Now I wake up to his laughter Not your footsteps down the hall If you ever try to call me My new man’s standing six-foot-tall [Chorus] ’Cause I was not the monster you sold them I was bleeding in the dark where you told me to stay You painted me in ashes and called it my name But I walked through your fire and I’m burning your blame I was not the monster you sold them I was the girl you tried to break then bury alive Now I’m driving past the house where you swallowed my light With my real love on the right And my scars in my rearview tonight [Bridge] Let ’em whisper Let ’em wonder Let ’em choke on every lie Truth’s riding shotgun Boots on the dash Middle finger to your alibi (hey!) You can keep your blessed reputation Like a rusted wedding ring I got freedom in my lungs now Hear this battered angel sing [Chorus] I was not the monster you sold them I was bleeding in the dark where you told me to stay You painted me in ashes and called it my name But I walked through your fire and I’m burning your blame I was not the monster you sold them I was the girl you tried to break then bury alive Now I’m roaring down the highway Swallowing sky With my real love on the right And my scars in my rearview tonight (yeah) All your ghosts getting smaller In my rearview tonight
