Accomplice

I knew the rules before I played

Knew your hands weren’t clean

Still I laid my cards on the table

Like love don’t bleed

I heard the whispers in the hallway

Saw the smoke on your phone

But I stayed quiet like a crime scene

Tryna make a house a home

Pre-Chorus

I should’ve walked when the lies felt heavy

Should’ve let you fall alone

But I kept showing up like I owed you

Something you never earned

Chorus

Know that I loved you so bad

I let you treat me like that

I was your alibi, your excuse, your backseat sin

Yeah, I knew where you’d been

I played dumb, played loyal, played fair

While you played me everywhere

I could’ve hurt you right back, but I didn’t have it in me

Guess that makes me your accomplice, baby

Verse 2

I learned how to swallow my pride

With a smile and a drink

Told myself it was just your nature

Like that made it okay

I wore your red flags like makeup

Covered bruises with trust

Every time you crossed that line

I erased it for us

Pre-Chorus

I memorized all your reasons

Said “you’re broken, not bad”

I was busy saving you

While you were busy wrecking what we had

Chorus

Know that I loved you so bad

I let you treat me like that

I was your alibi, your excuse, your backseat sin

Yeah, I knew where you’d been

I played dumb, played loyal, played fair

While you played me everywhere

I could’ve hurt you right back, but I didn’t have it in me

Guess that makes me your accomplice, baby

Bridge

I tried to learn your game

But my heart don’t cheat the same

I can fake indifference, fake tough

But I can’t fake love

I held the knife but dropped it

Couldn’t draw your blood

I’d rather bleed than be someone

You turn me into

Break

I knew the truth and loved you still

That’s the part I hate

I helped you get away with murder

Every time I stayed

Chorus (Final)

Know that I loved you so bad

I let you treat me like that

I was your silence, your shelter, your innocent act

Yeah, I had your back

I could’ve burned it all down, went cold, went crazy

But I wanted you, not payback, baby

So if loving you’s a crime, then I admit it plainly

I was guilty… I was faithful…

I was your accomplice, baby

Outro

If the judge is my reflection

Then I already lost

‘Cause I’d do it all again

Just to feel that love… at any cost
