[Verse 1]
I wore the smile too long
Nametag on my chest
Took the bad mood orders
And still gave my best
Eight-top, late-night, "Can we split?"
Rolled my eyes, then I bit my lip
Coffee stains on my black shoes
I learned how to move
[Pre-Chorus]
But my hands got tired
Of fixing what broke
I was feeding the room
While my own heart starved slow
[Chorus]
Hospitality is my past (my past)
I don't live there now (live there now)
Hospitality is my past (my past)
Watch me take the crown (take the crown)
I was always on call
Now I make the call
Hospitality is my past (my past)
I don't live there now
[Verse 2]
Back room, paper cuts
Clock in, clock out, repeat
Fake laugh, full tray
Heavy feet on tired streets
I knew every exit sign
Every lie they sold as kind
Now I keep my own time
Yeah, I’m finally mine
[Pre-Chorus]
And the apron came off
Like a chain on the floor
If you want my peace
You can’t have my door
[Chorus]
Hospitality is my past (my past)
I don't live there now (live there now)
Hospitality is my past (my past)
Watch me take the crown (take the crown)
I was always on call
Now I make the call
Hospitality is my past (my past)
I don't live there now
[Bridge]
No more "sorry, ma'am"
No more bending low
I found my name
In the place I go
If you knew me then
You might not know me now
That girl in the apron
Yeah, she made me proud
[Final Chorus]
Hospitality is my past (my past)
I don't live there now (live there now)
Hospitality is my past (my past)
Watch me take the crown (take the crown)
I was always on call
Now I make the call
Hospitality is my past (my past)
I don't live there now
I don't live there now (my past)
I don't live there now
