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 blaming on an anxious mind

I've become jaded and I'm losing sight

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

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 called "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 this casualty created on my own

Stuck on an edge that 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 notbing

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 called "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
