[Verse 1] You left the room like smoke leaves fire, then swore I burned the house. You gave the crowd your clean confession, left the worst parts of you out. Now every stranger knows your version. Every lie has learned my name. You found religion in forgiveness after handing me the blame. [Pre-Chorus] I won’t beg a jury that only heard your side. Some people call it healing when they bury you alive. [Chorus] So keep the high road. Keep your clean white lies. Wear that borrowed halo over both your eyes. Tell them I was poison. Tell them you survived. You can keep the high road. The truth gets loud after midnight. [Verse 2] You loved me like a loaded weapon pointed backward at your heart. Every time your hands were shaking, you blamed mine for falling apart. I carried all your broken pieces until they cut me to the bone. You called me cruel for finally leaving what had already left me alone. [Pre-Chorus] I won’t chase redemption through rooms where I’m despised. Some people need a villain just to keep themselves disguised. [Chorus] So keep the high road. Keep your clean white lies. Wear that borrowed halo over both your eyes. Tell them I was poison. Tell them you survived. You can keep the high road. The truth gets loud after midnight. [Bridge] Maybe I was reckless. Maybe you were scared. Maybe we were two bad prayers that nobody upstairs could hear. But I never called you innocent. You never called me kind. We just kept cutting open wounds and calling it a life. [Final Chorus] So keep the high road. I’ll keep what remains. You can have the sympathy. I’ll outlive the blame. Tell them I was darkness. Tell them you were light. You can keep the high road. I know what you did after midnight. [Outro] The truth doesn’t need a halo. It just waits for the dark.
