Casualty

[Verse 1]

Too close to see so much in love we stop breathing

Sweet history ain't enough to keep my heart beating

Too many tears for you I sacrifice

Too many lies for you I justify

How can you stand there sayin' no one's to blame

How can you act like everything is okay?

[Chorus]

Don't tell me you love me

Then put a gun to my head

And say I'm not trying, oh

Don't tell me you want me

Then come to my bed

And pretend we're not dyin'

One of us has got to leave

Or one of us is gonna be

A casualty

[Verse 2]

It's cold in here

And my heart still wants you to hold me, baby

You're never here

But when you're with me I get so lonely

I see you talking but your lips don't make a sound

You see me crying but my tears don't hurt you now

How can you stand there sayin' no one's to blame

How can you act like everything is OK?

[Chorus]

Don't tell me you love me

Then put a gun to my head

And say I'm not trying, oh

Don't tell me you want me

Then come to my bed

And pretend we're not dyin'

One of us has got to leave

Or one of us is gonna be

A casualty

[Bridge]

Breathe in, breathe out

Defend, or back down

Over and over again

I stand there, too cold

Remember and I'd fall

Over and over again

[Chorus]

Don't tell me you love me

Then put a gun to my head

And say I'm not trying, oh

Don't tell me you want me

Then come to my bed

And pretend we're not dyin'

One of us has got to leave

Or one of us is gonna be

A casualty

[Outro]

One of us has got to leave

Or one of us is gonna be

A casualty
