Under the Gun

There came a time where everything was poison in my mind

Took everything I had till only fear was left behind

I tried to see it through, 'cause they say that love is blind

We washed up on the rocks 'cause we were covering our eyes

And I'm sick of waiting for a change of tide

Tired of blamin' on an anxious mind

I've become jaded and I'm losing sight

I can't fake this, I said I love you, but I lied

You had me hooked, careless and cunning

You had your throne, but now you're nothing

You had me hooked, careless and cunning

You had your throne, but now you're nothing

Fading like the makeup from my sheets

And I'm leaving, send the orders for retreat

I laid to rest this war that we call love

It's for the best and what's done is done

I'm leaving

It's for the best and what's done is done

But I'd be lying if I said it didn't kill me

Knowing I hurt you is what hurts the most

Lay awake all night barely breathing

From the casualty created on my own

Stuck on an edge, it wasn't cutting

So, I let go, and now there's nothing

Stuck on an edge, it wasn't cutting

So, I let go, and now there's nothing

(Nothing at all)

And now there's nothing

(Nothing at all)

And now there's nothing

I let go when the love was lost

Tried to mend, but I paid the cost

I let go when the love was lost

Tried to mend, but I paid the cost

Fading like the makeup from my sheets

And I'm leaving, send the orders for retreat

I laid to rest this war that we call love

It's for the best and what's done is done

I'm leaving

It's for the best and what's done is done

Under the gun
