Swords

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You gave me back your key

You did, you did, you did

I gave you back your love

I did, I did, I did

Now on the morning I'm putting on my black dress

I hate you now but you used to be my bestest friend

Now on the morning I'm putting on my black dress

My black dress

I'll take mine and you'll take yours

Hellfire and slammimg doors

Love is dead and that's for sure

So we, we keep dancing with the swords

It didn't have to end this way

But two stopping hearts feeling too much the same

So I'll take mine and you'll take yours

And we'll, we keep dancing with the swords

(Ha, ha, ha, ha)

We keep dancing with the swords

Don't ever call my phone

Cause I'm not listening

And when you feel alone

Don't think of me again

I know how it goes

'Cause we've seen it all a thousand times

This ain't the movies, yeah

We wait past the point of goodbye

Know how it goes

'Cause we've seen it all a thousand times

A thousand times

I'll take mine and you'll take yours

Hellfire and slammimg doors

Love is dead and that's for sure

So we, we keep dancing with the swords

It didn't have to end this way

But two stopping hearts feeling too much the same

So I'll take mine and you'll take yours

And we'll, we keep dancing with the swords

It didn't have to end this way (ha!)

It didn't have to end this way (ha!)

It didn't have to end this way (ha!)

But we, we keep dancing with the swords

I'll take mine and you'll take yours

Hellfire and slammimg doors

Love is dead and that's for sure

So we, we keep dancing with the swords

It didn't have to end this way

But two stopping hearts feeling too much the same

So I'll take mine and you'll take yours

And we'll, we keep dancing with the swords

It didn't have to end this way (ha!)

It didn't have to end this way (ha!)

It didn't have to end this way (ha!)

But we, we keep dancing with the swords
