[Intro]
[low vocal register]I held your hair back
Drunk on your birthday
You said I was your whole world
Guess that world had earthquakes[whispered vocals]
Just me and that cheap couch
You tracing scars on my chest
You laughed about forever
While you were texting the next

[Verse 1]
Found your phone face down
Still buzzing in the sheets
Different name
Same heart
Pinned under your teeth
You swore you were at "her place"
Laughing at some show
Funny how his jacket
Was hanging by our door

[Chorus]
You broke me first
So I broke you back
Burned our bridge
Then danced in the ash
Yeah
You want "even"?
Feel this war
You taught me hurt
So I evened the score
I evened the score

[Verse 2]
I kissed your best friend
On that kitchen floor
Tasted your perfume
On her sweatshirt and more
It didn't make me cleaner
It didn't fix my chest
But for one dumb moment
I felt just like you felt

[Pre-Chorus]
I hate that I get it now
How easy it is to cave
Turn love into a weapon
And aim it at a face

[Chorus]
You broke me first
So I broke you back
Burned our bridge
Then danced in the ash
Yeah
You want "even"?
Feel this war
You taught me hurt
So I evened the score
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[growled vocals]I was the kid
Who'd drive all night
To see you cry-laugh
In the parking lot light
Paid your bail
When your dad found out
Took every punch
So you wouldn't drown

Now I'm the ghost
Pacing our halls
Smell your shampoo
Hear your late-night calls
You beg
"We’re done
With all of this?"
But you signed my name
On his bitten lips

[Breakdown]
[crescendo]You tore my trust
So I tore us down
We’re both covered
In the same red crown
You said "forgive"
With his hands on your waist
I said "we're equal"
With her lips in my face

[Outro]
It didn't fix me
I'm still cracked and sore
But I'm not your victim
Bleeding on your floor
Yeah
I'm still hurting
But I’m not yours
Keep your excuses
I’ll keep my scars
I evened the score
