En garde, my God, how she get at me
Either we'll never get it right
Or it's meant to be
My ego, her pride, some recipe
We're our biggest fans
And our own worst enemies
Ain't shy, let the whole world know
Haven't tuned into the blow by blow
She move, I move
Let her go, I go
Stir it up stand back
Watch the firework show
Too pride to quit when it's broken
Too in denial to admit when it's over
Drowning at separate ends of the ocean
Both in too deep to know where the coast is
Surrounded by waves and the hurricanes
Gaze
When we together none of yall safe
So buckle up or get out of our way
Up in smoke, down in flames cause
When we fight fire with fire
When we cross the line
Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
Ain't no surprise
When we play with knives
Ain't no broken pride and these aren't papercuts
One by one on the hunt
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
But I'd rather war with you all of summer
Than a low key peace with another
One by one every cut
Yeah gets deeper but who they to judge
'Cause when it's on we roar like thunder
Then it's RIP to the other days
Cycle repeat till the lessons get learned
Man, you play with fire your bridges get burnt man
Stand off only making this worse
But don't nobody move and nobody get hurts
We just caught up in our ways
Sucker punches traded
Now it's all fun and games
I dealt the cards where the lay
Then it's ok, can't whatever anyway
When we fight fire with fire
When we cross the line
Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
Ain't no surprise
When we play with knives
Ain't no broken pride and these aren't papercuts
I know when you're weakest
You know where my demons hide
Puts us on a knife edge
Tell'em everything inside yeah
When we will learn
We've come too far in this to see
How much it hurts
When we will learn
You and I
We've comes too far in this to know
When to let go
Are we our better halves
If we only make it worse?
Are we better off apart
But can't say the words?
When we will learn
You and I
We've comes too far in this to see
All we ever do is bleed
When we fight fire with fire
When we cross the line
Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
Ain't no surprise
When we play with knives
Ain't no broken pride and these aren't papercuts
I know when you're weakest
You know where my demons hide
Puts us on a knife edge
Tell'em everything inside yeah
