lyrics

My dad won't say why
you can't stay later.
Your hand weighed on my head and
your voice didn't waver:

You said I needed to listen -
open up to reason.
None of this was your fault
and I believed it.

my father won't hear you out.
You wanted me to help him understand it, but
you sewed these seeds of doubt
between us - so reap what you planted.

He saw the card house you were constructing -
fortifying trick by trick - but your
split-tongued hiss was still just
slick enough to inflict

your lies on me.
So lie to me.
Don't try to stand by,
just lie to me.


Maybe through repetition
you've convinced yourself these lies, but your
split-tongued hiss was not quite
sly enough to hide

the truth from me. So,
ruthlessly, you
used me to
worm your way back inside.
