Words Like Weapons

Why are you so afraid?
Why you gotta raise your voice?
I just came to talk
Tell me what the hell we're fighting for

Now I can hear the sirens
Though I never meant to cause alarm
You're pushing me away
You know it's hard when we're always at war

When you're aiming all your words like weapons
Like a loaded gun pointed at my chest
You're killing me with words like weapons
I surrender love but you fire at me again

You're aiming all your words like weapons
Like a loaded gun pointed at my chest
You're killing me with words like weapons
I surrender love but you fire at me again

So I built up all my walls
Built them tall enough to keep you out
I miss the way we were
But I need to protect myself

And I still hear the sirens
There's something lead me back to you
But you pushed me away
And I can't pretend that I am bulletproof

When you're aiming all your words like weapons
Like a loaded gun pointed at my chest
You're killing me with words like weapons
I surrender love but you fire at me again

You're aiming all your words like weapons
Like a loaded gun pointed at my chest
You're killing me with words like weapons
I surrender love but you fire at me again

It's so strange to me I can't explain how love could turn so violent
Dangerous to be too close to you but somehow I can't fight it

When you're aiming all your words like weapons
Like a loaded gun pointed at my chest

You're aiming all your words like weapons
Like a loaded gun pointed at my chest
You're killing me with words like weapons
I surrender love but you fire at me again

It's so strange to me I can't explain how love could turn so violent
Dangerous to be too close to you but somehow I can't fight it
