[Intro]
Oh, enough, enough
Oh, enough, enough
[Verse 1]
Criticize, I can't escape the fire
Even my best is pale, it's not enough for you
Redefine, I would erase the fire
Never to face the fact that I've been hurt by you
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time we fall, interrupt and it ceases
Floating outside your door, we can dance when it's all electric
Sparring blind, and your fire's hectic
Everything now has fallen, it's everything that you wanted
Everything that you wanted
[Chorus]
You love to tell me when I make a mistake while you know
I stumble, trip, and fall the more that you blame, you shame
Our love is broken like a bone that you break and it shows
To stay so long has been my greatest mistake
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, enough, enough
Oh, enough, enough
[Verse 2]
No disguise, it can be so revealing
If I betrayed myself, it's not because of you
In your eyes, I can't escape the feeling
Nowhere to place in time, a way to see it through
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time we fall, interrupt and it ceases
Floating outside your door, we can dance when it's all electric
Sparring blind, and your fire's hectic
Everything now has fallen, it's everything that you wanted
Everything that you wanted
[Chorus]
You love to tell me when I make a mistake while you know
I stumble, trip, and fall the more that you blame, you shame
Our love is broken like a bone that you break, and it shows
To stay so long has been my greatest mistake
[Outro]
Because we've gone too far
Just enough so we lost who we are
I'll remember you by all the scars
Welcome back to me
I will learn, I will know
Nothing hurts from which I cannot grow
Since the pain has a way
It's deceiving, but I know I'll be okay
