Genevieve's Ledger

Verse 1

Cold-blooded sister at the reading of the will

Genevieve's hands steady while the ink goes still

Smiled at the lawyer then she smiled at me

Knew the whole betrayal when I caught her eye

Pre-Chorus

She sold the bloodline for a paper trail

Traded the family for a sealed estate

Chorus

Genevieve you lied

Burned the brother you raised

Counted every dime

While I carried the weight

Genevieve you tried

To put me in the grave

But Joshua's still breathing

And I know what you saved

Verse 2

Whispered to the trustee in the hallway dark

Cut me off completely then you left your mark

Drove me out to nowhere with the engine cold

Thought you'd watch my ending but it never sold

Pre-Chorus

You played the victim soaked in borrowed tears

Convinced yourself the guilt would disappear

Chorus

Genevieve you lied

Burned the brother you raised

Counted every dime

While I carried the weight

Genevieve you tried

To put me in the grave

But Joshua's still breathing

And I know what you saved

Bridge

Every dollar has a whisper

Every check has a tongue

Every secret that you buried

Is a bell that's come undone

Chorus

Genevieve you lied

Burned the brother you raised

Counted every dime

While I carried the weight

Genevieve you tried

To put me in the grave

But Joshua's still breathing

And I know what you saved
