[Verse 1] You sat at the table Saying you were tired of sides Swore you hated drama Just "staying out of the fight" But you knew every secret Every crack in my armor and name You didn't swing the first hit You just lined up their aim [Chorus] You didn't put the knife into my back But you handed them the blade Passed it like a favor, smiling Like it wasn't my veins You say your hands are clean Like you never touched the rage You didn't put the knife into my back But you handed them the blade [Verse 2] You called it "being honest" Said you "couldn't tell a lie" Funny how confession Only burned on my side You watched as they twisted Every word I ever gave Arms crossed in the doorway While I tried to explain [Chorus] You didn't put the knife into my back But you handed them the blade Passed it like a secret, casual Like it wasn’t my name You say your hands are clean Like you never lit the flame You didn't put the knife into my back But you handed them the blade [Bridge] You keep asking, "Are we good?" Like a crack can just erase You keep saying, "I was stuck there" But you walked me to that place Maybe you won't feel the weight But I can't unsee your face In their shadow, in that moment When you chose to look away [Chorus] You didn't put the knife into my back But you handed them the blade Turned my trust to tender meat On a silver little plate You say your hands are clean But I know the part you played You didn't put the knife into my back You just handed them the blade
