[Verse 1]
Found your little folder
Tucked beneath my name
Funeral flowers picked out
Tickets booked for a different flame
You penciled in my ending
Like a date on a wall
Wrote “after she goes
We’re free”
I heard every word of it all
[Chorus]
So I’m leavin’ you the house
I’m leavin’ you the ring
I’m leavin’ you that Sunday suit
And every pretty thing
But I changed one little line
At the bottom of your plan
“I’ll be sittin’ in the front row
When you marry your man” (oh yeah)
I’ll be there
Baby
When your world hits the fan
[Verse 2]
You practiced callin’ him “darlin’”
While I coughed in the other room
You two drew lives in the margins
Like you’d already swept my tomb
I stopped takin’ all my pills
Just long enough to see
How it feels when the dead wife
Stands up from the eulogy
[Chorus]
So I’m leavin’ you the house
I’m leavin’ you the ring
I’m leavin’ you that Sunday suit
And every pretty thing
But I crossed your perfect future
With the sharpest pen I had
Wrote
“half of what you think you own
Belongs to the widow of your man” (hey!)
You can hold each other
While his lawyer takes your hand
[Bridge]
You wanted me gone
Wanted him on your arm
I’ll haunt every vow with a smile and a charm
Raise a glass
Toast your new life
Toast your new start
While the papers that I signed
Pull your dream house apart
[Chorus]
Yeah
I’m leavin’ you the house
I’m leavin’ you the ring
I’m leavin’ you your bedside lie
And that gold wedding string
But I’m takin’ back the story
Tearin’ out your master plan
You’ll say “I do” through your teeth
To a broke and broken man
I’ll be a ghost in the back
In a black dress
Clappin’ hands
That’s my revenge
Baby
You can keep your man
