[Intro] There was rain on the window There was red on the wine There was nothing but silence Between his hand and mine [Verse 1] My baby came home late again With the city on his coat I could smell her in the hallway Like a flower in his throat He said, “Darling, you look tired” Like tired was all I was But I had seen the lipstick On the mirror of his love [Pre-Chorus] And I heard my mother’s warning In a voice I didn’t own “Never build a house, child Out of someone else’s bones” But I locked the door behind him And I turned the music low When a woman starts to tremble There are places she can go [Chorus] My baby loves another And the room began to spin My baby loves another So I let the darkness in Oh, I called him my forever But forever told a lie My baby loves another And something broke inside [Verse 2] She was younger than my sorrow She was sweeter than my name She had hands that hadn’t learned yet How a promise turns to shame I found her number folded In the pocket of his vest Like a prayer he meant to answer Like a knife against my chest He said, “Caryn, don’t be foolish” He said, “This isn’t you” But the woman in the window Was a stranger passing through [Pre-Chorus] And I heard the clock surrender To the beating in my head Every second sounded louder Every word we never said Then the glass heart on the table Caught the lamplight like a flame And I hated him for leaving But I hated her the same [Chorus] My baby loves another And the room began to spin My baby loves another So I let the darkness in Oh, I called him my forever But forever told a lie My baby loves another And something broke inside [Bridge] I am not asking for mercy I am not asking for tears I know the shape of what I did I’ll see it all my years Don’t say love made me do it Love don’t carry blame It was pride, it was poison It was me who lit the flame And when the sirens found me I was sitting by the door With my hands around a silence That would answer me no more [Final Chorus] My baby loved another Now the whole house knows my sin My baby loved another And I let the darkness win Oh, I called him my forever But forever watched me fall My baby loved another Now I have no baby at all [Outro] There was rain on the window There was red on the wine There was nothing but silence Where his heart once answered mine My baby loved another My baby loved another My baby loved another And I crossed the final line
