[Verse]
The mirror knows the lies I tell
Afraid to drink from this wishing well
Eyes like scars searching for escape
Love’s a loaded gun I can’t embrace
[Chorus]
What if I find it break it sigh and leave
What if the hurt is the only gift I receive
I can’t bleed twice so I run in reverse
If I shoot first then love can’t make it worse
[Verse 2]
Tried to trace the shadow of my despair
But every step left me gasping for air
They say love’s a gift but I hold it like a curse
What if forever just means breaking first
[Chorus]
What if I find it break it sigh and leave
What if the hurt is the only gift I receive
I can’t bleed twice so I run in reverse
If I shoot first then love can’t make it worse
[Bridge]
I’ve built walls from pillows of pain
Playing safe while I drown in the rain
I aim my arrows before they’re aimed at me
When you run from love does it set you free
[Chorus]
What if I find it break it sigh and leave
What if the hurt is the only gift I receive
I can’t bleed twice so I run in reverse
If I shoot first then love can’t make it worse
