[Verse 1]
Silver heels on cracked concrete
Red match flicks off her teeth
She keeps score in a leather-bound book
Every cheap-shot
Every side-eye look
He said “sweetheart
You won’t go far”
Now his keys are scratched in the bar
Lip print burning on his old white tee
That stain says “you remember me?” (oh yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
She got a list in her jacket
Names carved sharp in the fabric
You thought she’d cry
She got louder
Dripping venom like candy powder
[Chorus]
Lipstick vendetta
Written in red
Every kiss mark aimed at your head
You made her small
Now she’s ten feet tall
Laughing while you stumble and fall
Lipstick vendetta
Sugar and blade
Every cruel word finally gets paid
You called her “baby
” now you regret her
Welcome to your
Lipstick vendetta
[Verse 2]
Backstage smoke and broken glass
She walks by
They choke on their laughs
She signs hearts on the bathroom mirror
Each one tagged
“I was never your dear”
Gold card cut in a hotel sink
Ring flushed down in a pink cold drink
Photo of you with your arm round her chair
Now the frame’s cracked
But she don’t care (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
She got a past like a graveyard
Names lit up like a race car
You took your shot
Thought you owned her
She loads that smile
Pulls it like a shoulder
[Chorus]
Lipstick vendetta
Written in red
Every kiss mark aimed at your head
You made her small
Now she’s ten feet tall
Laughing while you stumble and fall
Lipstick vendetta
Sugar and blade
Every cruel word finally gets paid
You called her “baby
” now you regret her
Welcome to your
Lipstick vendetta
[Bridge]
Red on the collar
Red on the glass
Red on the stories
You tell to save your ass
She’s not your lesson
She’s your receipt
All that swagger
Melting in the heat (oh!)
[Chorus]
Lipstick vendetta
Written in red
Every kiss mark aimed at your head
You made her crawl
Now she owns it all
Heels on your pride as you beg and bawl
Lipstick vendetta
Sugar and blade
Every cheap bet finally gets played
You called her “crazy
” now you just sweat her
Drowning in her
Lipstick vendetta
[Chorus]
Lipstick vendetta
Scream it out loud
Her name riding over the crowd
You wrote her off
Now you spell it wrong
She writes you out with a deadly song
Lipstick vendetta
Final display
Blazing her name across your mistakes
You called her “never
” now you won’t forget her
Branded by her
Lipstick vendetta (yeah)
