Here are the full lyrics with the song title and structural notations: Double-Edged Sword [Intro] Hmm, double-edged sword Yeah, I see you now [Verse 1] You’re quick to hold the mirror up to me Mapping out the things I ought to be Pointing fingers, telling me the rules Like I’m the student in a classroom full of fools But I’ve been watching how you move when no one’s looking All the mess you hide behind the advice you’re pushing [Chorus] It’s a double-edged sword that you try to swing Giving out orders like you rule the thing You preach the high road from a lowdown place Throwing out judgments right in my face I’m calling it out, I’m drawing the line I’m done with your talk, and I’m taking back mine [Verse 2] It’s easy giving answers you don't use Covering the tracks of the path you choose You want the authority without the weight Lecturing me on love while you act out hate So go fix the blueprint of your own cracked frame 'Cause I’m not playing this double-standard game [Chorus] It’s a double-edged sword that you try to swing Giving out orders like you rule the thing You preach the high road from a lowdown place Throwing out judgments right in my face I’m calling it out, I’m drawing the line I’m done with your talk, and I’m taking back mine [Bridge] Silence is a weapon that I’ve learned to wield When the truth is a bomb on a battlefield You want the back-and-forth, you want the fight But I’m turning off the switch, ending the night Nothing left to say, no reason to stay I’ve got my peace, and I’m walking away [Chorus] It’s a double-edged sword that you try to swing Giving out orders like you rule the thing You preach the high road from a lowdown place Throwing out judgments right in my face I’m calling it out, I’m drawing the line I’m done with your talk, and I’m taking back mine [Outro] Said what I needed, now the screen goes black Walking out the door, and I’m not looking back Keep your advice, clear out your space I’m leaving the noise and taking my peace
