House like a Traitor

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

She signed her name on the line

While I was counting the days

Genevieve wore the crown

And I was down in the haze

She took the keys off the wall

Left me nothing but grief

Folded the letters in thirds

Burned every word of belief

Pre-Chorus

And I should have seen the blade

Hiding under her smile

She called it love but it tasted like steel

When she passed through the aisle

Chorus

Blood is thicker than gold

But she chose the paper

Sister with a cold

Hand on the dagger

Betrayed me for the land

And the weight of the father

Now she walks like a ghost

Through the house of the traitor

Verse 2

Then she came back in the dark

With a plan in her coat

Joshua standing outside

Nowhere to run when she wrote

A letter that said we were cursed

A story she swore was true

She whispered sorry as she

Pointed the knife right through

Pre-Chorus

And she should have seen the storm

Rolling right off the ridge

She traded a soul for a name

And she fell off the bridge

Chorus

Blood is thicker than gold

But she chose the paper

Sister with a cold

Hand on the dagger

Betrayed me for the land

And the weight of the father

Now she walks like a ghost

Through the house of the traitor

Bridge

Some things you never get back

No matter how loud you pray

She wore the stone on her neck

And threw the truth away

Chorus

Blood is thicker than gold

But she chose the paper

Sister with a cold

Hand on the dagger

Betrayed me for the land

And the weight of the father

Now she walks like a ghost

Through the house of the traitor
