[Verse 1]
You slam doors
I slam walls
Same old script
Same phone calls
Broken glass
On our tongues
Every word
Loads the guns
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “leave”
But your hands pull tighter
We’re both bleeding
Trying to play firefighter
[Chorus]
Our love’s a battlefield
Shrapnel hearts
We never heal
You aim
I brace
We both stand still
Too scared to run
Too proud to yield
Our love’s a battlefield
[Verse 2]
You keep score
I keep scars
Circle wounds
Call them ours
Your mascara
War paint streaks
Every kiss
Tastes like defeat
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “stay”
While you strike the lighter
We burn slow
Daring the flames to climb higher
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
White flag folded in the drawer
We touch it
Then we want one more
Round
One more
Shot to the core
[whispered vocals]
You’re my worst habit
I’m your bad call
We swear “that’s it”
Then we crawl
We crawl
[crescendo]
Drums like marching
Footsteps in my chest
We could have peace
But we love this mess
[Chorus]
