[Intro] [male & female duet]
(Ahhhh)
(Ahhhh)
You talk like every word I say is a battle you have to win,
Like loving me was always just a war you stumbled in.
You stand there like a stranger wearing someone that I knew,
All steel and empty silence where the truth once broke through.
**[Both harmony]**
We keep circling the ruin, saying this is where it ends,
Two hearts learning how to hurt before they learn to mend.
[Verse 1]
You said I only loved the war, the sound of being right,
Like every honest feeling had to turn into a fight.
So I wore my armor tighter, let the silence take control,
Never told you losing you was losing half my soul.
[Pre-Chorus — Female & Male]
We turned every confession into something sharp to throw,
Every quiet moment felt like losing control.
**[Male & Female harmony]**
We were never good at peace, only fire and defense,
Loving like survival never makes much sense.
[chorus]
We swear this time is different, swear the damage finally stays,
But we’re drawn back to the fire in a thousand quiet ways.
**[Male & Female harmony]**
Every goodbye sounds softer when you know it’s just pretend,
I break apart, then fall back to you
enemies to lovers… to enemies again.
[Verse 2]
I said you never listened, said you never really tried,
But I learned your every silence like a language you can’t hide.
Every door I slammed behind me felt like leaving something true,
Like breaking free just meant I’d still be haunted by you.
[chorus]
We swear this time is different, swear the damage finally stays,
But we’re drawn back to the fire in a thousand quiet ways.
**[Male & Female harmony]**
Every goodbye sounds softer when you know it’s just pretend,
I break apart, then fall back to you
enemies to lovers… to enemies again.
[Bridge]
If I hated you, I wouldn’t know the way you breathe,
Wouldn’t feel the loss in every time you leave.
If I hated you, your voice wouldn’t remain,
Echoing through every victory and every kind of pain.
**[Male & female harmony]**
Maybe we were never meant for peace or clean goodbyes,
Just two hearts that only meet where love and hate collide.
[Outro]
**[both harmonies]**
No crowns left on the table, no victories to claim,
Just a hollow soul and the memory of a name.
We say goodbye like strangers, knowing how the story ends…
Enemies to lovers… to enemies again
(Ahhhh) Enemies to lovers… to enemies again (ahhh)
