Blackwood

[intro]
Will you keep his name?

[verse]
It’s two in the morning,
You’re still scrolling his posts.
Torturing yourself,
with pictures of her.

[verse]
Divorce papers on the table,
Next to the dusty shelf…
Memories telling the story,
Of a life already gone.

[pre-chorus]
Why do we keep holding the past…
When he’s already moved on.

[chorus]
After all the cheating, all the lies
When we know love’s already gone.
Are you still keeping his name?
After he’s packed his bags,
Telling you he’s leaving for her...
When the tears are finally past.

[post-chorus]
There was a you, Before him.
She’s worth you finding again

[verse]
When all that’s left are Papers,
For you to sign.
Stop torturing yourself with the why.
Move past the end,
to the you before him.

[verse]
Find the girl you left behind
Before you shared his name.
The mirror still remembers her,
The girl before he caused all the pain...

[pre-chorus]
Why do we keep holding the past…
When he’s already moved on.

[chorus]
After all the cheating, all the lies
When we know love’s already gone.
Are you still keeping his name?
After he’s packed his bags,
Telling you he’s leaving for her...
When the tears are finally past.

[post-chorus]
There was a you before him.
She's still there.
She's worth finding again.

[bridge]
I know you can’t see it,
Lost in the shadow of him…
You're more than the end,
More than the heartbreak…
I still remember you then.
The one who laughed too loud.
The one that never backed down.
The one who lived without doubt
She’s better than the story of him.

[pre-chorus]
Why do we keep holding the past…
When he’s already moved on.

[chorus]
After all the cheating, all the lies
When we know love’s already gone.
Are you still keeping his name?
After he’s packed his bags,
Telling you he’s leaving for her.
When the tears are finally past…

[outro]
There was a you, Before him.
She’s still there. I promise…
She’s worth finding again
She’s worth finding again

[intro]
[verse]
Lost in the moment
Just one look from you,
One touch…
And the room disappears
Your voice cuts defenses.
Every warning gets lost.
Her eyelids flutter slowly.
Her will fades away…
Everyone else vanishes.
When you say her name.

[pre-chorus]
I know who you are.
I’ve heard the stories
Seen the damage
The Hearts you’ve collected,
like trophies on display.
You’re playing a dangerous game

[chorus]
hypnotic killer
Your love is a poison.
Leaving a trail of bodies,Like flowers in the rain
Hypnotic killer
I know what you are
Hypnotic killer
Do know what I am?

[verse]
How many hearts have you buried?
How many names?
Your kiss is a poison,
That freezes the heart.
I know your truth.
I’m still letting it happen…
Why do you think that is?

[pre-chorus]
I know who you are.
I’ve heard the stories
Seen the damage
The Hearts you’ve collected,
like trophies on display.
You’re playing a dangerous game

[chorus]
hypnotic killer
Your love is a poison.
Leaving a trail of bodies,Like flowers in the rain
Hypnotic killer
I know what you are
Hypnotic killer
Do know what I am?

[verse]
You smile like there’s no consequence.
But I smile the same way…
Why do you think that is?

[bridge]
You saw just another victim.
Another thrill to add.
But I’m not the same
And now you’re standing at the edge,
Of a mutual disaster.

[pre-chorus]
I know who we are.
I’ve heard the stories
Seen the damage
We play a dangerous game
Our love is mutually assured destruction.

[chorus(final)]
hypnotic killers
Our love is a poison.
Leaving a trail of bodies,Like flowers in the rain
Hypnotic killers
I know what you are
Hypnotic killers
Do know what I am?
I’m just like you.

[outro]
Hypnotic killers
Hypnotic killers
Hypnotic killers
Our love is poison.

[intro 2]
[pre-chorus]
you've figured out who I am.
you've heard the stories
Seen the damage
You've already lost the game

[Chorus]
I'm a killer
You're just another victim.
Another trail of bodies,Like flowers in the rain
Hypnotic Killer.
You know what i am
You know what I am
Hypnotic Killer.

[intro]
I’m like everybody else.

[verse]
I don't claim to have the answers.
I’m just flying from problem to problem.
Trying to do my best,
But we all make mistakes…
And some days the weight of the world,
is more than I can take.
I wish I could simply fly away.

[pre-chorus]
I’m like everybody else.
Afraid of my failures.
Trying to prevent my own disaster.

[chorus]
Don't take this the wrong way,
But I need to get away.
I'm hiding from the world
Somewhere you can’t find me.
my own personal fortress of solitude.
Where I don’t need to save the day…
I won’t save today.

[post-chorus]
This fortress is my own,
Hidden beyond the cold.

[verse]
Yesterday they wanted me to save.
Today they just want me to blame.

Maybe We’re all shades of villain and hero…
Depending on who’s sharing our story.

Maybe I’m not a super girl.
Maybe I’m just another woman.

[pre-chorus]
I’m like everybody else.
Afraid of my failures.
Trying to prevent my own disaster.

[chorus]
Don't take this the wrong way,
But I need to get away.
I'm hiding from the world.
Somewhere no one needs me.
my own personal fortress of solitude.
Where I don’t need to save the day…
I won’t save today.

[post-chorus]
we all need a fortress…
Sometimes.

[bridge]
Who can I turn to?
Who’s gonna be my hero?
Who’s gonna pick me up?
I’m just like you…
I can fall down too.

[pre-chorus]
I’m like everybody else.
Afraid of my failures.
Trying to prevent my own disaster.

[chorus]
Don't take this the wrong way,
I need to get away.
I'm breaking from the world.
Somewhere I’m more than just a cape.
Out from my fortress of solitude.
Where I don’t need to save the day.

[chorus]
Don't take this the wrong way,
I need to get away.
I'm breaking from the world.
Somewhere I’m more than just a cape.
I’m more than a cape!
I’m out of the fortress…
Where I don’t need to save the day…

I won’t save today.
[post-chorus]
we all need a fortress…
Sometimes.

[outro]
Maybe I’m not your super girl.
I’m just a woman… like everybody else.

[intro]
[verse]
The stage was ours from the moment we met.
Two strangers stepping under the lights

[verses]
The first act opened with our nervous laughter.
Learning where to stand.
Stumbling through our lines…
but somehow you made it right

[pre-chorus]
We loved every standing ovation.
Believing our story would never end.

[chorus]
Sometimes you reach the last act.
It’s nobody’s fault
That's just how stories go
The curtain falls, the house lights rise
It's time to take the final bow
I wish we could stay forever in act two
But every play has an ending,
And I'm glad I played it with you.

[verse]
Our second act was the part I'd play a thousand times.
it was coffee in the morning.
And Walking Side by side.
Finishing each other’s lines.

[pre-chorus]
We loved every standing ovation.
Believing our story would never end.

[chorus]
Sometimes you reach the last act.
It’s nobody’s fault
That's just how stories go
The curtain falls, the house lights rise
It's time to take the final bow
I wish we could stay forever in act two
But every play has an ending,
And I'm glad I played it with you.

[verse]
We’ve reached the final act.
We been playing our scenes apart.
We read between the lines,
And knew it was coming…
Not every story will last.

[bridge]
The ovations have faded
Critics had their say.
The theaters empty now.
Love isn’t how long we last
It’s how well we play our roles.

[chorus (final)]
Sometimes things just end,
And it’s nobody’s fault.
That's just how stories go.
The curtain falls, the house lights rise
It's time to take the final bow
I wish we could stay forever in act two
But every play must find its ending
And I'm glad I played ours with you.

[Verse]
Your friends say I’m a bad idea
Mine say you’ll only let me down
They whisper till the truth gets hazy
Building walls of rumor and doubt
But they can’t put out the fire
They can’t smother the spark
Let them try to keep us under
Love still finds us in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
There is no place, there is no space
No distance they could make
Too wide to keep me from you

[Chorus]
Over the mountains, over the waves
Under the city, under the rain
Through all the lies
And every wall they raise
We’ll find a way
Call it madness, call it a mistake
No matter what they say
Love will find a way

[Verse]
Friends in the corner, whispering low
Trying to tell me I can’t go
Through the darkest night, the hardest day
You’ll never stop two hearts that want to stay
They can draw their lines around us
They can tell us where to stand
But every step that leads me from you
Only brings me back again

[Pre-Chorus]
There is no place, there is no space
No distance they could make
Too wide to keep me from you

[Chorus]
Over the mountains, over the waves
Under the city, under the rain
Through all the lies
And every wall they raise
We’ll find a way
Call it madness, call it a mistake
No matter what they say
Love will find a way

[Verse]
Jealous eyes watching every move we make
Waiting for a promise they hope we’ll break
Saying it’s blind, saying we’re fools
Trying to measure our hearts with their rules

[bridge]
But they don’t know what we’ve weathered
They don’t know our strength
When the world turns against us
You’re the one I’ll stay

[Chorus (final)]
Over the mountains, over the waves
Under the deepest floods, under the graves
Through all the lies
And every wall they raise
We’ll find a way
Call it madness, call it a mistake
No matter what they say
Love will find a way
