I’m playin’ make believe at the bottom of a bottle
Smilin’ for the girls while my mind is causing trouble
I threw your memory in the furnace just to feel the heat
But you’re the only ghost that walks these Nashville streets
I changed the locks, yeah, I scrubbed the floors
But I still hear your knuckles on my bedroom door
I’m a strong woman until the sun goes down
Then your shadow starts circlin’ like a ghost in this town
You’re livin’ rent free in the back of my mind
Stealin’ my peace, you’re in my thoughts all the time
I evicted the whiskey, the pills, and the pain
But you’re the one habit that I can’t break
Yeah, I’m movin’ on, at least that’s what I said
But you’re still sleepin’ on my side of the bed
No, you ain’t mine, but you ain’t dead
You’re livin’ rent free in my head
Tried a Saturday Night with a Sunday Morning man
But he couldn’t read the map of my heart like you can
Every neon sign is a Welcome Home light
To a war I’ve been fightin’ since the middle of the night
Is it love? Is it trauma? Is it just the regret
Of the one thing in this life I ain’t conquered yet
Ain’t it funny how a heartbreak breaks the lease
But leaves the devil walkin’ round with a master key
I don’t want the us, I just want the peace
But damn, you live in me. Lord, help me
You’re livin’ rent free in the back of my mind
Stealin’ my peace, you’re in my thoughts all the time
I burned the past but it still smells like you
Guess heartbreak keeps a spare room too
Yeah, I’m gettin’ strong, but I’m still a mess
Chasin’ the ghost right out of my chest
No, you ain’t here, but you ain’t gone
You’re livin’ rent free
Yeah, you’re livin’ rent free
Yeah, you’re livin’ rent free
In my head
