[Verse 1]
Bree walked in like thunder
Gold hoops, sharp smile, no fear
He sat there, all grown and wrinkled
Bald head catching the beer
She said, "Boy, you look familiar"
He laughed like he knew too much
Black queen with a savage heartbeat
And his old hands shook when they touched
[Pre-Chorus]
Now she hates how she wants him
How his name stays on her tongue
Every fight feels like forever
Every kiss leaves smoke in her lungs
[Chorus]
Bree, Bree, can’t let him go
That old man got in her soul
Bree, Bree, don’t you know
He wrecked her heart and stole the show
Bree, Bree, still in her head
Even when she wants him dead
Bree, Bree, can’t let him go
That old man got in her soul
[Verse 2]
Friends say, "Girl, that’s trouble"
She just rolls her eyes and grins
He’s got years in every silence
And a stare that pulls her in
He leaves her mad on Mondays
Then he calls like nothing broke
She swears she’s done for good this time
Then she laughs and takes the smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
Now she hates how she wants him
How his name stays on her tongue
Every fight feels like forever
Every kiss leaves smoke in her lungs
[Chorus]
Bree, Bree, can’t let him go
That old man got in her soul
Bree, Bree, don’t you know
He wrecked her heart and stole the show
Bree, Bree, still in her head
Even when she wants him dead
Bree, Bree, can’t let him go
That old man got in her soul
[Bridge]
She’s a storm in a silk dress
He’s a bruise she won’t explain
Love got grit under her fingernails
And a wild, unholy name
She says, "I should walk away now"
Then she bites back every word
'Cause the mess is half the magic
And the ache is what she heard
[Final Chorus]
Bree, Bree, can’t let him go
That old man got in her soul
Bree, Bree, don’t you know
He wrecked her heart and stole the show
Bree, Bree, still in her head
Even when she wants him dead
Bree, Bree, can’t let him go
That old man got in her soul
[Outro]
Oh, Bree
He’s still there
In every thought
Everywhere
