Good Girl in a Dead Man’s Shirt

[Verse 1] Met you in a dive bar full of sins and static You smelled like bourbon, blood, and something tragic said, “You’re not the type I bring home to mother” But I lit your cigarette and said, “ it only makes me love harder” [Verse 2] We carved our names in motel ashtrays Took shots of venom just to feel okay You called me “pretty” like it hurt your tongue But I wore that lie like lipstick, just for fun [Pre-Chorus] And I swear I tried to be sweet— But you begged for the teeth. [Chorus] I’m your good girl in a dead man’s shirt Singing hymns in heels and a miniskirt I kissed your shadow, fucked your fate You gave me heaven, I set it ablaze So light a match, baby, bless this curse— I was made to ruin you first [Bridge] We danced to sirens in a stolen hearse Your heart was glass, my touch was worse You prayed for mercy, I said, “Not yet.” Then traced my name in your cigarette burns [Final Chorus] I'm your good girl in a dead man’s shirt Wrote our vows on a bathroom mirror You brought me roses, I brought the rain You said “forever,” I said, “What’s your name?” And when they ask, just say it hurts— To love a girl like me till we are sleeping in the dirt
