lyrics

FRIENDLY FIRE
From the start,
you placed your life at the shallow end
saving face was only meant for the broken

Can you see?
You'll maybe fool them but you
can't fool me
Knee deep in false hopes that cover
yourself in sorrow
holding the weight of the world
on your shoulders.
Are you blind or can you see?
a traitor's never set free

You dropped the bomb
and it comes back around again
Save yourself (save save yourself)
You chose your words
to come back and backstab a friend
Save yourself, you'll die by a whisper
and I can't believe
that you would put this on me
Either you'll live on a lie
or die by a whisper

The things you crave the most
are the biggest lies you're told,
and you can't even find your own soul

How could this be a friendship?
I couldn't treat my own worst enemy
the way that you have treated me
how could this be a friendship?
the truth will set you free

Can you see?
You'll maybe fool them but you
can't fool me
Knee deep in false hopes that cover
yourself in sorrow
holding the weight of the world
on your shoulders.
Are you blind or can you see?
a traitor's never set free

You dropped the bomb
and it comes back around again
Save yourself (save save yourself)
You chose your words
to come back and backstab a friend
Save yourself, you'll die by a whisper
and I can't believe
that you would put this on me
Either you'll live on a lie
or die by a whisper
