[Verse 1] I walk away take me and mine with me packed all the quiet stuffed it down in the backseat Not that anyone sees or hears the way I bleed you point at my reflection call it every ugly thing you need [Pre-Chorus] You twist your shame tie it ‘round my neck call it “love” call it “just a little check” [Chorus] Like a poisoned tree you broke me, then you drink from me bite my heart, spit out the seed then you blame me for your rotting teeth Like a poisoned tree you cracked me, now you lean on me you want my presence, want me to agree but I’m walking off your history [Verse 2] Every word you speak dripping from the same branch you flood my phone with mem’ries like that proves you ever cared You hand me your anger like a gift I should unwrap then call it fate, call it habit when you snap [Pre-Chorus] You twist your shame tie it ‘round my neck call it “love” call it “just a little check” [Chorus] Like a poisoned tree you broke me, then you drink from me bite my heart, spit out the seed then you blame me for your rotting teeth Like a poisoned tree you cracked me, now you lean on me you want my presence, want me to agree but I’m walking off your history [Bridge] You say “don’t leave” I say “who did you ever see?” you never learned my language only how to talk at me (yeah) So take your roots out of my chest I’m not your shelter I’m not your mess [Chorus] Like a poisoned tree you broke me, then you drink from me bite my heart, spit out the seed then you blame me for your rotting teeth Like a poisoned tree you cracked me, now you lean on me you want my presence, want me to agree but I’m walking, walking, finally free
