Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know we'll do it again
I know we're gonna collide
I know we'll call it the end
It's always, always a lie
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I wear my blood on my tie
But it's only love underneath
This disguise
[PreChorus]
Oh, you left a hole in me
But I don't cut easily
I'm only just holding up on my knees
Think it's time to open up, I don't mean bleed
[PreChorus]
So turn it on, we can go wild
If it's what you want, fire at me
[Chorus]
I can't bear to let you go
So keep on throwing your sticks and stones
I'd rather fight with you all night
Than never have you in my life
I can't bear to let, bear to let you go
[Verse 2]
Why don't you do it again?
Go wrecking something of mine
Like you deserve the revenge
Like I got something to hide
I'll keep on playing with you
You keep on calling me names
Sure, I can take the abuse
It's just a game
[PreChorus]
Oh, you left a hole in me
I don't cut easily
I'm only just holding up on my knees
I think it's time to open up, I don't mean bleed
[PreChorus]
So turn it on, we can go wild
If it's what you want, fire at me
[Chorus]
I can't bear to let you go
So keep on throwing your sticks and stones
I'd rather fight with you all night
Than never have you in my life
I can't bear to let, bear to let you go
[Bridge]
All I know is I love it when our shit blows
We keep turning red hot and stone cold
'Cause we burn inside
Deals get broke, we fall in and fall out, too close
It's dead love until curtains close
We come alive
[Chorus]
I can't bear to let you go, no
So keep on throwing your sticks and stones
I'd rather fight with you all night
Than never have you in my life
I can't bear to let, bear to let, no
[Chorus]
I can't bear to let you go
So keep on throwing your sticks and stones
I'd rather fight with you all night
Than never have you in my life
I can't bear to let, bear to let you go
