"Friendly Fire" lyrics

(Ooh, ooh)

I've been holding my breath, I've been chasing my temper
Pulling pieces apart, trying to get us together
Burning bridges really ain't my specialty
Except for when it comes to you and me

'Cause when you twist me up and shut me down
I never know what to say
And then I swing right back in my tortured crown
And I take it back right away

I'm sick of all the friendly fire
Stuck at the wrong end of a broken lighter, oh
'Cause when you shoot before you take your aim
And you don't care who gets in the way
Of friendly fire, it's gonna bend us until we break

Wish that we could just back up to where we started
My head on your chest, no one begging for pardon
I don't know how we ended up this deep
Oh, in a habit we both know we can't keep, oh

Waving words like weapons on our tongues
Doing anything to start a fight
Sabotage keeps boiling in my lungs
And I wish you were still on my side

I'm sick of all the friendly fire
Stuck at the wrong end of a broken lighter, oh
'Cause when you shoot before you take your aim
And you don't care who gets in the way
Of friendly fire, it's gonna bend us until we break

I don't know about you, I don't know about you
But I'm sick, I'm sick, sick as hell of this
I don't know about you
I don't know about you but I'm sick
I'm sick of the taste of my own medicine

I'm sick of all the friendly fire
Stuck at the wrong end of a broken lighter, oh
'Cause you shoot before you take your aim (Oh)
And you don't care who gets in the way
Of friendly fire, it's gonna bend us until we break
