Lyrics
V1
I cant express the way you make me feel
Like i trip straight up from my veins
Theres no coming down off you
No
Now its trickling through my blood stream
Fireman run extinguish me
Cause i feel it, its hot as ice
Taking me down the road of glory
Only once did i explore it
now i know pipe dreams, they're freeing me
To believe that you can give me more than i can see
Hook
And i trusted, that you would give me only what i knew
I was a fool to think that
Its like a angel came and rescued me
Then a demon came and buried me
I never cried, but i survived, i survived all your lies
V2
This is like blacktop on a hot summer day
No rolling around with you unhurt
Its like you made me out of Play Dough
Oh you played me
You molded me through it all, so i would never talk
And now you jumping off the waterfall
You hold my hand and then let go
Now Im falling with no parachute
never thought i would fight this way
in the battle of you, but your fighting
Fighting for the crown, i heard you never lose
Yeah theres a thin line
between love and war
and love and hate, but how did i still lose
