[Verse 1]
You said his hand brushed your waist
You laughed it off in the car
I felt his name in my teeth
Like metal
Like war
You said
"Baby
Let it go"
You kissed my jaw
I froze
'Cause every print on your skin
Feels like blood on my clothes
[Chorus]
I'll put blood on your hands
Not hers
Every shadow that touches you burns
They don't know what you are to me
They don't breathe if they cross that line
You see
I'll put blood on your hands
Not hers
Say the word and I’ll cleanse this earth
You just smile
You just wear his fear
I make sure he never comes near (never comes near)
[Verse 2]
You say I'm "too much" sometimes
But you still paint my name on your throat
You spin around in his jacket
I see a target
Not a coat
You swear that nothing went down
You swear you just needed a ride
So why's there perfume in his truck
That smells like the back of your mind?
[Chorus]
I'll put blood on your hands
Not hers
Every shadow that touches you burns
They don't know what you are to me
They don't breathe if they cross that line
You see
I'll put blood on your hands
Not hers
Say the word and I’ll cleanse this earth
You just smile
You just wear his fear
I make sure he never comes near (never comes near)
[Bridge]
You say
"Don't do anything crazy" (too late)
But your eyes don't match your plea
You love the way the town goes quiet
When they hear what you mean to me
You trace a heart on my wrist
Whisper
"Promise you’ll always stay cruel"
I say
"Touch you
They sleep like stone"
You laugh
'cause you know it's true (you know it's true)
[Chorus]
I'll put blood on your hands
Not hers
Every shadow that touches you burns
They don't know what you are to me
They don't breathe if they cross that line
You see
I'll put blood on your hands
Not hers
Say the word and I’ll cleanse this earth
You just smile
You just wear his fear
Every touch disappears from here (from here)
