[Verse 1]
Lipstick on my dad's new shirt
You smile like you ain't done dirt
Perfume crawling down the hall
Acting like you own it all
You call me "baby" through your teeth
Glass of wine, your wedding ring
Every word's a sugar sting
You ain't family, you're a thief
[Chorus]
You're the poison in my house
Sweet talk, shut me out
Wear my last name in your mouth
Like a crown you never earned
You're the poison in my house
Pretty dress, filthy vows
Every hug just drags me down
Watch it burn, watch it burn (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You move pictures on the wall
Hide my mama in a drawer
Say her name like it's too sharp
Like her ghost could break your heart
"Be polite" is what he says
While you sit in her old chair
You pretend you really care
But your eyes say "I don't dare"
[Chorus]
You're the poison in my house
Sweet talk, shut me out
Wear my last name in your mouth
Like a crown you never earned
You're the poison in my house
Pretty dress, filthy vows
Every hug just drags me down
Watch it burn, watch it burn (oh)
[Bridge]
One day he'll see the cracks in your smile
Hear the things you say when I'm not around
Till then I'm drawing maps, my escape on the tiles
Counting every little lie like a drum, like a drum now
[Chorus]
You're the poison in my house
Sweet talk, shut me out
Wear my last name in your mouth
Like a crown you never earned
You're the poison in my house
Pretty dress, filthy vows
Every hug just drags me down
Watch it burn, watch it burn (yeah, burn)
