You came in soft, all sweet talk
Said you needed a place to land
I was young, I was wide-eyed
Gave you keys right from my hand

You wore that smile like a costume
Said you clock in every day
But the cash kept disappearing
And your love kept driftin’ away

[melodic interlude]


You took a sledgehammer to my trust
Left me standing in the dust
The cracks ran deep but I held my breath
Now I'm done with second guesses

I see the cracks where the truth slipped through
The lies you stacked like bricks in view


Double dipping, double dipping
Took my heart and took my rent
Double dipping, double dipping
Now I know just where it went

[transition]

Brick by brick
I'm building high
No more tears
No more lies
Stone-cold fortress
Heart of steel
This time it’s real
This time I heal


Then a picture hit my phone, yeah
Sent from your own little line
You with him in my old driveway
Grinning like everything was fine

He said, “Bro, I got the same story”
Same fake tears, same empty bed
Same excuse, same missing money
Same sweet lies inside her head

[instrumental]


Your words were nails
Sharp and bent
Promises spent
Your love was lent
Every brick a story I reclaim
Every stone forgets your name


Double dipping, double dipping
You played us both in one house
Double dipping, double dipping
Now the truth kicked you out


No windows
No doors
No keys to find
You won’t slip through
You’re out of time
The wind may howl
The rain may pour
But this wall’s stronger than before


Young man learned fast that season
Love ain’t love when it’s rent and lies
And she hit the curb with her suitcase
Under both our open eyes
