[Verse 1]
Ashtray on the nightstand
Lipstick on a crooked glass
You said you liked my madness
Then you used it as a mask
Your shirt on my chair
Smelled like someone else’s bed
You kissed away the questions
Left your stories in my head
[Chorus]
You wore a paper-thin halo
Laid it down next to my skin
Touched me like you meant forever
Spoke like you believed it then
You drew a heart on my shoulder
Smiled while the ink ran red
You never loved me
Baby
You just liked the way I bled
[Verse 2]
You’d trace my spine so slowly
Name by name down every scar
Call me your little secret
Like I was contraband in your arms
[low vocal register] You said I was your only
[whispered vocals] But your phone lit up your lies
I learned to read the silence
Every flicker in your eyes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You loved my tears in your mouth
Salt on your tongue
You turned me inside out
You loved the chase
Loved the fight
Loved how I begged you to stay the night
Now I’m the one in your doorway
Laughing while you reach for my hand
[whispered vocals] “Baby
Keep the halo
It never fit me like it fit your plans”
[Chorus]
