[Verse 1]
Your keys on the table
Same place that you left your lies
Lipstick on your collar
Wrong color for my mouth
My eyes
I stared at the ceiling
’Til the sun came crawling in
You came home all casual
Reeking of somebody’s skin
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see our boy
Curled up in his little bed
Got your smile in his dreams
While I choke on what you said
[Chorus]
You burned this house down quietly
One late text at a time
You tore our vows to tiny threads
Now you ain’t no man of mine
I gave you love
Gave you my name
You gave me the walking dead
I’m lying here with all this blame
And ashes on your side of the bed
[Verse 2]
Coffee’s getting colder
Like my patience
Like my trust
Your picture on the fridge door
Feels like metal
Tastes like rust
I practice explanations
For the day our baby asks why
Why mama changed her last name
Why daddy made her cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Will I say “he got lost”
Or “he walked out on our road”?
Do I spare him the storm
Or let him see the lightning explode?
[Chorus]
You burned this house down quietly
One late text at a time
You tore our vows to tiny threads
Now you ain’t no man of mine
I gave you love
Gave you my name
You gave me the walking dead
I’m lying here with all this blame
And ashes on your side of the bed
[Bridge]
I’m not your secret keeper
I’m not your alibi (no more)
I’m done asking questions
You ain’t even gonna try
I’ll take our boy and my backbone
Pack ’em in the back of this car (yeah)
You can keep your empty stories
I’m taking back my heart and my guitar (oh)
[Chorus]
You burned this house down quietly
One late text at a time
You tore our vows to tiny threads
Now you ain’t no man of mine
I gave you love
Gave you my name
You gave me the walking dead
I’m driving off
I’m done with shame
Leave ashes on your side of the bed
