[Intro]
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
[Verse 1]
Carve you out a hollow bed of quiet
Let me knead your heart back to healthy blindness
Where it used to be
Baby, it was you and me
Be my shield, I will be your soldier
Waging war for love
It's an art just staying sober
While piece by piece
This swollen heart just swallows me
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we just give it some time?
Oh, oh you gotta let me give it a try
And now my friends keep telling me to get help
I hardly recognize myself
[Chorus]
I'm all red, white and blue!
My heart's a mess, I'm busted up for you
You twist the knife so deep
The pleasure and the pain cuts me 'till I bleed
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
And have no doubt, I never meant to hurt you
Babe, it's over now
You know I didn't mean to undermine our trust
Leave us in a cloud of dust
[Pre-Chorus - Revised]
Maybe we just give it some time?
Oh, oh you gotta let me give it a try
And yeah, I know I really need to get help
'Cus babe, I can't control myself
[Chorus]
I'm all red, white and blue!
My heart's a mess, I'm busted up for you
You twist the knife so deep
The pleasure and the pain cuts me 'till I bleed
[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
[Bridge]
Tell me that you want it
I already got it
Tell me that you want it
Mmm mmm mmm
Tell me that you want it
I already got it
Tell me that you, that you, that you
[Chorus]
I'm all red, white and blue!
My heart's a mess, I'm busted up for you
You twist the knife so deep
The pleasure and the pain cuts me 'till I bleed
I'm all red, white and blue!
My heart's a mess, I'm busted up for you
You twist the knife so deep
The pleasure and the pain cuts me 'till I bleed
I'm all red, white and blue!
My heart's a mess, I'm busted up for you
You twist the knife so deep
The pleasure and the pain cuts me 'till I bleed
[Outro]
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh...oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
