[Verse 1]
You pour the coffee, I fake a smile
Same two mugs, same cold denial
We're talkin' weather, but we mean goodbye
It's quiet like thunder just waitin' to cry
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to burn like summer fields
Now every kiss cuts what it used to heal
[Chorus]
There’s barbed wire between us, every word leaves a scar
Try to reach out, but we never get far
Love used to run like a river, now it bleeds like rust
And we’re tangled up tight in the barbed wire between us
[Verse 2]
Your eyes still got that Sunday shine
But they dodge mine like a power line
We sleep in the same bed, different dreams
Both scared to tear apart the seams
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to spark, now we just smolder
One wrong move and it's all over
[Chorus]
There’s barbed wire between us, every word leaves a scar
Try to reach out, but we never get far
Love used to run like a river, now it bleeds like rust
And we’re tangled up tight in the barbed wire between us
[Bridge]
I still see the girl I fell for deep
Underneath the silence we keep
But we're fenced in by pride and time
And neither one will cross that line
[Final Chorus]
There’s barbed wire between us, like a field left alone
Once bloomed bright, now overgrown
Love used to sing like a backroad tune, now it just collects dust
We’re holdin’ on tight to the barbed wire between us
[Outro]
We’re bleedin' slow...
On the barbed wire between us
