double edged sword

You're standing fully armored on the frontline
And I won't fall for the tactics that you weaponize
But when you tell me you love me
I feel the words numbing the gashes from your stabs
And when I feel your regret, oh, I almost forget
The blood dripping down my back

You are a double edged sword
You're the poison, the cure
You're the enemy and the ally in this war
I keep wanting more 'cause
I'm not even sure that I know who I am without you anymore

Did I sharpen the side of you that cuts me down?
Is it my fault that we're on this battleground?
'Cause when you tell me you care
I feel the words repair the bridges you burned down
And when I feel your regret, oh, I almost forget
That you left me to bleed out

You are a double edged sword
You're the poison, the cure
You're the enemy and the ally in this war
I keep wanting more 'cause
I'm not even sure that I know who I am without you anymore

I watched the place I called home turn into a war zone
The one who's rescuing me wouldn't laugh as I bleed
'Cause I know the truth, and I know it's not you
But once the smoke clears from my view
Oh, you come back around and lay your weapons down
And demonize all of my doubt

You are a double edged sword
You're the poison, the cure
You're the enemy and the ally in this war
I've been here before
Now I'm not even sure that I know who you are anymore

You are a double edged sword
You're the poison, the cure
You're the enemy and the ally in this war
I keep wanting more 'cause
I'm not even sure that I know who I am without you anymore
