Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lightning strike
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain
[PreChorus]
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere, it's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin
No one really ever wins in heartbreak warfare
[Chorus]
If you want more love, why don't you say so?
If you want more love, why don't you say so?
[Verse 2]
Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain
[PreChorus]
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere, it's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin
No one really ever wins in heartbreak warfare
[Chorus]
If you want more love, why don't you say so?
If you want more love, why don't you say so?
Just say so
[Bridge]
How come the only way to know how high you get me
Is to see how far I fall?
God only knows how much I'd love you if you'd let me
But I can't break through it all
It's a heart, heartbreak (Heart)
[Verse 3]
I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight
Let's just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God, we're gonna get it right
If you lay your weapon down
[Verse 4]
Red wine and Ambien
You're talking shit again, it's heartbreak warfare
Good to know it's all a game
Disappointment has a name, it's heartbreak, heartbreak
[Outro]
It's heartbreak warfare
It's heartbreak warfare
It's heartbreak warfare
