Lyrics

Yeah. Thursday nights
Should've just stayed on the stage
Thursday night gigs, I got the mic in my hand
You were giving me the eyes from the edge of the stand
Started hanging out, but a couple weeks in
I could tell we were losing before we could win
I called it right off, said we're better apart
But you had a different script for my heart
Phone lit up with a picture in the text
Ultrasound screen, didn't know what to do next
You said it was twins. Two heartbeats in the dark
So I swallowed my pride and I stayed in the park
Locked back in for the rest of the ride
Living for the kids that were never inside
I WAS BUILDING A HOUSE FOR THE PHANTOM TWINS
Paying the price for your desperate sins
Tied to a lie that was never alive
Just a hostage trapped in a fabricated drive
Yeah, you anchored me down with a ghost of a family
Playing God with my life and my sanity
Six months deep and the belly ain't showing
Out with your friend, hit the lanes, we went bowling
Y'all got into it, screaming out loud
And she dropped the bomb right in front of the crowd
At least I ain't faking a pregnancy to keep him
I didn't say a word, just let the poison seep in
Didn't make a scene, let the bowling ball roll
But the silence in the car took a heavy toll
Couple weeks later, walking down the shopping aisle
I said, "Let's get a test, let me see the dial
You're seven months along, let's see what it reads
That's when you snapped like a bundle of weeds
You broke down crying right there in the store
Changed up the script, picked yourself off the floor
Said you lost 'em at three months, a tragic mistake
But I looked in your eyes and I knew it was fake
We went back to the house. Didn't speak for a week
The foundation was gone. The future was bleak
Fast forward seven days, went out for a drink
The tension was heavy, pushed us right to the brink
We got in a fight, you completely lost your mind
Threw me on the pool table, left reason behind
Snatched my keys from my pocket, acting totally insane
So I ran all the way home in the dark and the rain
Dialed up the cops, said, "You gotta get her out
But the law spun it round, left me standing in doubt
Cops looked at me and said, "Son, pack up your bags
You gotta leave till she's gone." Last of the red flags
I WAS BUILDING A HOUSE FOR THE PHANTOM TWINS
Paying the price for your desperate sins
Tied to a lie that was never alive
Just a hostage trapped in a fabricated drive
Yeah, you anchored me down with a ghost of a family
Playing God with my life and my sanity
So I packed up my stuff
Walked out in the night
Left the phantom twins behind
End of the illusion. End of the fight
