Verse 1
I crawled out of hell and I paid for my peace,
Saved what I could just to finally be free.
Four little walls and a lock with my key,
A life I rebuilt that belonged just to me.
You knew what I’d lived through, you knew what it cost,
How hard I had fought for the safety I’d lost.
Still, out of every damn place you could choose,
You made my safe place the one thing I’d lose.
Chorus
You put another girl in my bed,
Then let me come home and lay down my head.
Same sheets, same pillow, no warning instead,
Just me sleeping right where you’d taken her to bed.
And the longer I sit with it, less of me aches,
’Cause heartbreak turns into disgust when it waits.
You didn’t just cheat, you made selfishness cruel,
And somehow my safety meant nothing to you.
Verse 2
You wouldn’t let me in your house on my own,
“Those are my things. That’s my space. That’s my home.”
And strangers at family’s? You said, “Hell no.”
What if they’re dangerous? What if they show
Back up when you’re gone? You don’t know what they’ll do.
Funny how clearly that mattered to you.
You knew all the risks. You could name every one.
You just stopped giving a damn when I was the one.
Chorus
So picture me bringing some man to your bed,
Leaving his smell where you lay down your head.
Giving a stranger your address and door,
Then asking what you’re so upset about for.
Would “I’ve changed” make the memory less?
Would you sleep peacefully in that same mess?
You’d call it betrayal. You’d say it was sick.
So why should forgiveness make mine disappear quick?
Bridge
Even cheaters find hotels.
That’s the part that finally lands.
Even betrayal has boundaries
You somehow couldn’t understand.
A car. Her place. Anywhere.
You had every choice instead.
But you didn’t just find another woman.
You brought her to my bed.
And every time I think it through,
Something in me disconnects from you.
Final Chorus
You say, “I’m not that person anymore,”
Like somehow that evens the score.
Maybe you changed. Maybe every word is true.
Maybe you’d never again do what you used to do.
But change doesn’t erase what I finally can see:
There was once a version of you who could do that to me.
You knew where I’d been.
You knew why I was scared.
You knew what that home meant,
And still brought somebody there.
You understood danger.
You understood trust.
You understood protecting the people you love.
So maybe you’re different.
Maybe you grew.
But I can’t unknow what I now know about you.
Because “you’d never do it again”
Isn’t the comfort you think it should be.
The fact that you could ever do that
is enough for me.
