Found your phone buzzin’ on the counter
Name I didn’t recognize
Same old smile, same old story
Same damn lookin’ in your eyes
You said I was just paranoid
Said I should calm my mind
But the truth don’t whisper softly
It hits like a .45
I see every lie stacked like cards
Your alibis and your excuses
Every late night, every whisper
Every excuse you used to use us
I don’t wanna kill a man
I just want the lie to die
I want introducing-you-to-me
To be the last damn time
You’re standin’ there still breathin’
But the love is gone tonight
You ain’t my heart, you ain’t my home
You’re dead to me tonight
I walked past the bar where we met first
The jukebox still plays our song
Funny how a melody turns bitter
When you realize you don’t belong
I packed my pride in a leather bag
Left the key in the door
Your shadow won’t follow me
I ain’t your fool no more
All those promises crumpled on the floor
Your whispered lies, I won’t ignore
You thought I’d break, you thought I’d stay
But I’m lighting up my own damn way
I don’t wanna kill a man
I just want the past erased
I want your face out of my dreams
Your taste off my name
You’re still walkin’, still talkin’
But you lost the right to try
Yeah, you ain’t my forever
You’re dead to me tonight
I thought about every time I cried
Every tear I hid for you
Every “I forgive you” I whispered
While you were makin’ moves
Now I’m burnin’ bridges, not my soul
I’ll let my anger flow
Not on your blood, not on your skin
But on the lies I won’t condone
I won’t fall for guilt or pleading eyes
I won’t let your charm disguise
The hurt you caused, the games you played
I’m reclaiming everything you betrayed
I don’t wanna kill a man
I just want the past erased
I want your shadow gone for good
No memories, no trace
You’re standin’ tall, you’re breathin’ still
But you’ll never get back inside
Yeah, you’re gone from my heart
You’re dead to me tonight
Maybe some night you’ll realize
That karma don’t sleep, it waits
Some night you’ll see me shining
While you’re trapped in your own mistakes
I thought about dark roads, about broken chains
But I chose freedom over pain
Your lies won’t reach me no more
I’m slamming every door
I don’t wanna kill a man
I just buried what we were
Laid it down in cold goodbye
Let the truth be the cure
You can keep your secrets
And your half-truths wrapped in lies
You’re breathin’, yeah, you’re livin’
But you’re dead to me tonight
I start the car, feel the engine roar
Freedom hummin’ through my veins
I’m alive, I’m whole, I’m finally free
And you? You’ll never hurt me again
