you don't need me to defend you
you are an army of your own
how could I ever represent you
there is so much I don't know
you don't want me to pull the trigger
your love is a consuming fire
you give and you take and you won't let go
I bend and I break, you won't leave me alone
you don't need me to understand you
you don't want another martyr
how could I stay indifferent to you
it's not cool to be desperate
I come with nothing but my bare hands
I've got nothing to say in my defense
I am all sound, you are the thunder
I am right now, you are the future
when I go down, will you go down with me?
I can't win this without hurting somebody
when I go down, will you go down with me?
I can't win this without hurting somebody
