Under the Gun Songtext
von Movements

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
