Under the Gun

There came a time where everything was poison in my mind Took everything I had 'til 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 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 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 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 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 Under the gun
