[Verse 1] Lessons learned go down like fire Mistakes are made and carved in stone You can't escape your history Shame is written in my bones The closet door was never opened You tore down the walls that stood I don't think that I'm a sinner I'd like to think that I am good [Pre-Chorus] Which one of us will throw the first fist in the fight? I'm swallowing bullets just to get through the night It doesn't give you rule and it doesn't make it right I'm falling to pieces, I never got what I needed Yeah, I know [Chorus] You're saying "I love you" with gritted teeth I wish we could go back to the old days, old days You'd love me in the old ways, old ways Enough's never enough to make some peace We sit around and wait to stoke the old flames, old flames We always play the same games And never win [Verse 2] Bruises fade, but always linger Wounds close up, but never heal There's always something in my way That something's never really real You never let me in the picture I was always out of frame We are different in our feelings But the same blood is in our veins [Chorus] You're saying "I love you" with gritted teeth I wish we could go back to the old days, old days You'd love me in the old ways, old ways Enough's never enough to make some peace We sit around and wait to stoke the old flames, old flames We always play the same games And never win [Pre-Chorus] Which one of us will throw the first fist in the fight? I'm swallowing bullets just to get through the night It doesn't give you rule and it doesn't make it right I'm falling to pieces, I never got what I needed Yeah, I know [Chorus] You're saying "I love you" with gritted teeth I wish we could go back to the old days, old days You'd love me in the old ways, old ways Enough's never enough to make some peace We sit around and wait to stoke the old flames, old flames We always play the same games And never win
