[Verse 1]
Twenty years of folded laundry
Birthday candles
Mortgage bills
You said you needed breathing space
Guess you meant her perfume thrill
You packed distance in your suitcase
Moved it into our own bed
I was cooking us a future
You were feeding her instead
[Chorus]
Mouth of lies
Says
“We’re broke
” while his phone lights up
Every “baby
I’m trying” just cuts
You wire her comfort
Leave me with dust in my eyes
Mouth of lies
Says
“We’re fine
We just gotta trust”
But your wallet keeps choosing her first
We’re counting pennies while you keep paying the price
For that mouth of lies
[Verse 2]
Six years of your disappearing
Bathroom texts and late-night drives
You swear it’s just bad business
But she’s living off our lives
Groceries on my credit
She gets weekends by the sea
I clip coupons at the counter
You buy secrets tax-free
[Chorus]
Mouth of lies
Says
“We’re broke
” while his phone lights up
Every “baby
I’m trying” just cuts
You wire her comfort
Leave me with dust in my eyes
Mouth of lies
Says
“We’re fine
We just gotta trust”
But your wallet keeps choosing her first
We’re counting pennies while you keep paying the price
For that mouth of lies
[Bridge]
You can’t call this love
When I’m the one in line
Begging for the truth
You paid for both our time
So keep your split receipts
Your half-truth lullabies
I’ll keep my sanity
You keep that mouth of lies
[Chorus]
Mouth of lies
Says
“We’re broke
” while his phone lights up
Every “baby
I’m trying” just cuts
You wire her comfort
Leave me with dust in my eyes
Mouth of lies
I’m done being the one who trusts
My heart used to carry us
Now I cash out
Walk out
Leave you there with your pride
And that mouth of lies (mouth of lies)
