Glass In The Back

Lyrics

Verse 1
Twenty years, one table
One last chair, now gone
You knew my scars by name
You used them to move on

You came with empty hands
Left with all I had
My trust sat in your pocket
Now it tastes like blood and ash

Pre-Chorus
And you smiled like truth
While the knife went in
You cut the line
Then hid your skin

Chorus
You stabbed me in the back
You stabbed me in the back
Twenty years erased
Just like that

You threw my life away
Threw my face in the dark
You stabbed me in the back
You stabbed me in the back

Verse 2
That photo album burned
In a trash bag rain
My mother in that birthday hat
My brother on the train

Every page, every grin
Every paper crack
You took my history
And you never looked back

You blocked my number cold
Cut the thread, cut the wire
I called into a wall of steel
Got silence and fire

Pre-Chorus
And I kept on knocking
On a dead closed door
But your name turned to smoke
On the basement floor

Chorus
You stabbed me in the back
You stabbed me in the back
Twenty years erased
Just like that

You threw my life away
Threw my face in the dark
You stabbed me in the back
You stabbed me in the back

Bridge
Now every old excuse
Hits like broken glass
I loved you like a brother
You loved me like a target blast

So take your empty hands
Take your perfect lie
I’ll wear this scar like armor
And I’ll never ask why

Breakdown
Back
Back
Back

You blocked me out
You sold me out
You watched me drown
Then turned around

Back
Back
Back

Final Chorus
You stabbed me in the back
You stabbed me in the back
Twenty years erased
Just like that

You threw my life away
Threw my face in the dark
You stabbed me in the back
You stabbed me in the back

I’m still standing here
With a hole in my heart
You stabbed me in the back
You stabbed me in the back
