[Verse 1] You said my name like a prayer Then left it on the floor I learned your kind of goodbye Knocks three times, then wants more Black heels on the porch Red nails on the rail I saw my own shape coming back Through the curtain and the hail [Pre-Chorus] So count your steps Count your lies I know the look In those dead eyes You can run You can hide But the past has teeth And it bites [Chorus] Dead girls are back (dead girls are back) Dead girls are back And they don't forgive Dead girls are back (dead girls are back) Dead girls are back You gave them a reason to live [Verse 2] There’s a crack in the mirror now Where the cold air gets in I hear the floorboards answer Every time you grin Your little alibi Fits in a matchbox frame I wore that dress to bury it Now I wear it like a name [Pre-Chorus] So count your steps Count your lies I know the look In those dead eyes You can run You can hide But the past has teeth And it bites [Chorus] Dead girls are back (dead girls are back) Dead girls are back And they don't forgive Dead girls are back (dead girls are back) Dead girls are back You gave them a reason to live [Bridge] Hands on the glass Cold on your spine You made a ghost Out of blood and time Now hear that knock Now hear that laugh What you buried first Comes crawling back [Final Chorus] Dead girls are back (dead girls are back) Dead girls are back And they don't forgive Dead girls are back (dead girls are back) Dead girls are back You gave them a reason to live
