[Verse 1]
Boot print on the welcome mat
Same fight from a week ago
You say I’m the one who’s changed
I say you just never know
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word’s a swung hammer
Every breath just feeds the flame
You carve halos in your stories
I’m the villain in your frame
[Chorus]
You turn my veins to rust
You turn my lungs to smoke
Every promise burned
Ash in my throat
I wear your tired excuses
Like rope around my bones
You call it love
I call it letting go
[Verse 2]
Coffee cup in the sink
Still cold
Three a.m. and the walls all stare
Our photos face down in the drawer
Guess we’re both already there
[Pre-Chorus]
All the “sorry”s sound rehearsed now
Like a line you barely know
If we’re actors in a bad play
Rip the curtains
End the show
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[guitar solo]
[low vocal register] If you need someone to blame
Paint me black
Paint me gone
I’d rather walk out bleeding
Than crawl back to your arms [crescendo]
[Chorus]
