Here's a secret I will tell you about my foolish heart
Get a little closer now cause it's about to start
I crossed the fine line between passion and decay
Burning bridges was the only choice for me

Ever since I was a kid I had trouble on my mind
Always been a wild one, never backed down from a fight
I never cared for all those empty bottles on the floor
Or for the girls walking in and out my door

Your heart is beating faster when you're on the run
This is how it feels to be under the gun
It's shutting down your system, blood is running cold
Flying high means always falling low

As I got a little older it was time to settle down
No more wasted nights, and no more battles to be won
But I kept listening to the demons in my head
Telling me to change my mind, that's what they said

Your heart is beating faster when you're on the run
This is how it feels to be under the gun
It's shutting down your system, blood is running cold
Flying high means always falling low

Your heart is beating faster when you're on the run
This is how it feels to be under the gun
It's shutting down your system, blood is running cold
Somebody tell me what went wrong

I came to my senses, I realized
No more lies, no alibis
There's something left worth fighting for
The proof of love is an act of war
