[Verse 1] We pose like nothing’s wrong Flash goes off, we play along His fingers lace into my hand I feel like I’m sinking in quicksand Everyone says we look so right Golden couple in the light If they only saw the space Between his touch and my face [Pre-Chorus] Six small chances I could break Six more lies for safety’s sake One wrong glance across the room And everything starts to move [Chorus] Russian roulette with my own heart Holding a truth before I fall apart One in six and it slips my mouth And I watch my whole life burn down Russian roulette every time she’s near Heartbeat loud enough to hear If the world reads what I feel I lose them all for something real [Verse 2] She stands too close behind the stage My whole body gives away We don’t touch but it’s too loud Like thunder hiding in a cloud He talks about a future plan I nod like I understand But every promise that he makes Feels like another wall I raise [Pre-Chorus] Six thin threads I’m hanging by Six more nights I have to lie If one rumor starts to spread I’ll be standing there alone instead [Chorus] Russian roulette with my own name Spinning it slow in a loaded game One in six and the mask falls off And I become the villain they talk about Russian roulette, don’t let it land Don’t make me lose everyone If loving her costs my world I don’t know if I’m that strong [Bridge] I don’t know who would stay If I let the silence break Would the fans turn their eyes away? Would my friends erase my face? I’m not strong enough to fight Not brave enough to choose the light So I hold it in and let it ache And pray the chamber never wakes [Final Chorus] Russian roulette with my own heart Counting down before it starts One in six and I tell the truth And stand there shaking in the proof Russian roulette, don’t let it land Don’t make me lose everyone If loving her costs my world I don’t know if I’m that strong
