Under The Gun Lyrics Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There came a time where everything was poison in my mind
Took everything I had until 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
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
It's for the best and what's done is done

[Outro]
Under the gun
