[Intro] You left me where the floor gave way Now even Hell seems kind today [Verse 1] You packed your coat and took the spare key Left one plate and a note that barely knew me I watched your taillights cross the county line While your last “sorry” kept rewinding in my mind You knew the cracks, you knew where I would fall Still you let the silence answer every call I gave you every honest part I had You made a clean escape and called it “not that bad” [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need your pity, don’t come back to explain You made a home of hurt and left me holding the blame [Chorus] You made the Devil look like a nice guy He’d tell me to my face, you just smiled while you lied You left me in the wreckage, watched me learn how to crawl Now the Devil seems decent next to you after all You made the Devil look like a nice guy At least he’d never kiss me, then vanish overnight You cut the cord and watched me hit the floor The Devil’s got more mercy than you ever showed before [Verse 2] Your name still sits beneath the chipped phone screen I should delete it, but the red still burns too clean You took the warm days, left the bills and rain Then sent a little “hope you’re good” like that could dull the pain I won’t dress your leaving up as fate You saw me reaching, chose to shut the gate So keep your pretty reasons, keep your borrowed grace I know the kind of cold that wears a familiar face [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need your pity, don’t come back to explain You made a home of hurt and left me holding the blame [Chorus] You made the Devil look like a nice guy He’d tell me to my face, you just smiled while you lied You left me in the wreckage, watched me learn how to crawl Now the Devil seems decent next to you after all You made the Devil look like a nice guy At least he’d never kiss me, then vanish overnight You cut the cord and watched me hit the floor The Devil’s got more mercy than you ever showed before [Bridge] No, don’t call it an accident You knew what you were doing when you left I picked up every piece you dropped And still I’m standing here with nothing left to beg [Final Chorus] You made the Devil look like a nice guy He’d tell me to my face, you just smiled while you lied You left me in the wreckage, watched me learn how to crawl Now the Devil seems decent next to you after all You made the Devil look like a nice guy At least he’d never kiss me, then vanish overnight You cut the cord and watched me hit the floor The Devil’s got more mercy than you ever showed before [Outro] You left me where the floor gave way Now even Hell seems kind today
