Homewrecker Lyrics
Fine you've shut me out the door is barred that's alright
I know exactly where you are
but the keys are gone
and I'm scared to death you'll take this threat too far
so what was going through your head that day
you hit her deadline and lacked the words that could explain
when I saw it in her face I went straight to you and kept watch through pouring rain
she always swore she'd have her way
and you paid the price it's true
and turned on me but I never betrayed
fist after fist I stuck around
silent I watched you hit the ground
everyday I drove from your hotel to my high school
I talked less and less
made sure none of my friends knew
so when you said it was my fault
I had to believe you
fight because too much blood has stained my hands
please hold on tight I know exactly where you stand
but save your breath cause what you breathe will you kill you faster than I can
she always swore she'd have her way
and you paid the price it's true
and turned on me but I never betrayed
fist after fist I stuck around
silent I watched you hit the ground
so if you will go
just remember you'll be taking away all that I know
you make your choice
but I'll be lying here with my face pressed to the ground
praying to hear your voice
and you said that I should come along
let's fall into the earth together we could finally escape
we could be gone
I know exactly where you are
but the keys are gone
and I'm scared to death you'll take this threat too far
you hit her deadline and lacked the words that could explain
when I saw it in her face I went straight to you and kept watch through pouring rain
she always swore she'd have her way
and you paid the price it's true
and turned on me but I never betrayed
fist after fist I stuck around
silent I watched you hit the ground
I talked less and less
made sure none of my friends knew
so when you said it was my fault
I had to believe you
please hold on tight I know exactly where you stand
but save your breath cause what you breathe will you kill you faster than I can
and you paid the price it's true
and turned on me but I never betrayed
fist after fist I stuck around
silent I watched you hit the ground
just remember you'll be taking away all that I know
you make your choice
but I'll be lying here with my face pressed to the ground
praying to hear your voice
let's fall into the earth together we could finally escape
we could be gone

Sounds like it's about an adult man gas-lighting an underage girl that he's in a "relationship" with, sung from the perspective of the minor. I love Elizabeth Elmore as a lyricist, because she touches on subject matter like this, that is rarely talked about in song form
