[Verse 1]
Met you at the back of the wake
Black suit
Crooked tie
Wrong place
You laughed at the flowers on the grave
Said
“Baby
They’re just in the way”
You smoke out the side of your mouth
Like you’re staging an exit route
You said
“You don’t wanna know the truth”
But my hurt already came with proof
[Pre-Chorus]
You talk like trouble
I speak in scars
You wear your damage like a leather heart
We both been carved by the same sharp tongue
Different houses
Same old gun
[Chorus]
You’re bad for me
Good for you
I was born to cut these roots
Every secret in this blood
Turned my veins to velvet mud
Kiss me like you’re wrecking through
All the things they swore were true
Forbidden love
But I’m breaking the rules I grew
You’re bad for me
Bad for me
Good for you
[Verse 2]
Mama said you’re just like him
Same smirk
Same taste for sin
But you’re the first one who ever stayed
When I cracked and I couldn’t fake
Dinner table
Porcelain lies
You caught my shaking hands
My eyes
Underneath their polished shame
You and I share the same last name they changed
[Pre-Chorus]
You talk like thunder
I speak in rain
You trace the map of my old pain
We both got built on a fractured frame
Different stories
Same old blame
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’m done keeping quiet in the attic
Done playing gentle with the static
Let them talk
Let them choke on the past
We’re the proof it doesn’t have to last
[low vocal register] I burned the script they wrote for me
[crescendo] You held the match
You watched me breathe
From their ruins
From their rules
I choose me
And I choose you
[Chorus]
