[Verse 1]
You used to say my name like a warning
Teeth on edge
Every word a spark
We drew our lines all over this town
Sharpened tongues
Taking cheap shots in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
But every time we swore we were done
We stayed right there
Under the gun
Couldn’t walk away from the fire we made
Guess something sweet was hiding in the shade
[Chorus]
We went from crossfire to kisses
From “I hate you” to “I miss this”
Every bruise on my pride
Now your hand on my side
We went from slammed doors to whispers
All that venom turned to shivers
You were the war I thought I’d never win
But love walked in
Love walked in
[Verse 2]
You crashed my party just to argue
Red wine spilled on my favorite dress
Your laugh slipped out right after mine did
And for one split second I forgot to be pressed
[Pre-Chorus]
You said
“Why do you get under my skin?”
I said
“Maybe that’s where I’ve always been”
Your stare got soft
Like you lost your place
And I got scared of how close we’d face
[Chorus]
We went from crossfire to kisses
From “I hate you” to “I miss this”
Every bruise on my pride
Now your hand on my side
We went from slammed doors to whispers
All that venom turned to shivers
You were the war I thought I’d never win
But love walked in
Love walked in
[Bridge]
Look at us now
Sharing a bed we once swore we’d burn down (oh)
All of that thunder
Only to fall for the eye of the storm somehow
You pull me close when I start to fight
Say
“Easy
You’re safe
We’re on the same side”
And all those battles fade like smoke in the sky
You and I
You and I
[Chorus]
We went from crossfire to kisses
From “I hate you” to “I live this”
Every bruise on my pride
Turned to proof you’re mine
We went from slammed doors to whispers
All that poison into pictures
You were the war I thought I’d never win
But love walked in
Love walked in (yeah)
Love walked in
Love walked in
