Her touch was fire, her lips were sin

I swore I’d stop, but I just gave in

A ring on her finger, a vow betrayed

Our lust won out, hearts strayed

I see their love in shadows cast

A fragile bond I’ve overpassed

Yet here I stand, I can’t let go

What does that make me? I don’t know

A house of glass, did I throw the stone?

Watched it shatter, guess I should’ve known

Is love to blame, or just my lust?

Do shattered vows just turn to dust?

Who am I now? I'm just a homewrecker...

I'm just a homewrecker

He doesn’t know, but there’s something there

A look in his eyes I can’t compare

Strong and steady, a storm contained

And now I wonder: do I feel shame?

I feel his presence linger near

A quiet strength I shouldn’t fear

What if the truth could set us free?

What kind of love could this all be?

A house of glass, did I throw the stone?

Watched it shatter, guess I should’ve known

Is love to blame, or just my lust?

Do shattered vows just turn to dust?

Who am I now? I'm just a homewrecker...

I'm just a homewrecker

I see the cracks in the walls we built,

Every glance is a dose of guilt.

But the fire’s alive, I can’t let it die,

Even though I’m the reason she lies.

I’m caught in a game I don’t understand,

Stealing her touch with a trembling hand.

He’s a picture of strength, I can’t look away,

What if the two of us weren't so estranged?

Lines are blurred, it’s a slippery slope,

Twisting in secrets, tangled in hope.

Love triangles are hard to ignore,

What if love could be something more?

I'm just a homewrecker

She laughs and says, “He’d love you too”

The words feel wild, but not untrue

It’s just a whisper, a fleeting dare

But what we’d risk, would he even care?

I'm just a homewrecker

We’re caught in love, a fragile tether

Three souls bound, but is this better?

What we’ve become, no hearts unsevered

Homewrecker, or something clever?
