[Verse 1] I met you by the iron gate Where the banners learned to fall Your father took my father’s name And painted smoke across the hall I wore my revenge like a blade You wore your gold like a shield But your hand shook when you said my name And mine went still [Pre-Chorus] We were born in broken crowns Raised on the same old grave You said, “I know what they made of us” I said, “I know your face” [Chorus] Enemy’s daughter, stay Don’t let them pull you away Enemy’s daughter, stay My heart betrayed my name Sworn for blood, but I break When you look at me that way Enemy’s daughter, stay Don’t let them pull you away [Verse 2] Your brother watched from the palace steps My men kept their distance low I should have called for the final strike I should have left your world to snow But you slipped out through the orchard door With your sleeves full of stolen light And I found a softer war in me Where I expected night [Pre-Chorus] Now every oath tastes thin Every victory burns You touch the scar on my open palm And teach my grief to turn [Chorus] Enemy’s daughter, stay Don’t let them pull you away Enemy’s daughter, stay My heart betrayed my name Sworn for blood, but I break When you look at me that way Enemy’s daughter, stay Don’t let them pull you away [Bridge] Let the old men shout Let the towers keep their pride I know the weight of your father's crown I know the cut of mine If peace is just a ruined word Then say it in our hands I would rather lose a war with you Than win it where I stand [Final Chorus] Enemy’s daughter, stay I’m not the son they made Enemy’s daughter, stay I’ll tear my vows away Sworn for blood, but I break When you look at me that way Enemy’s daughter, stay And don’t let them pull you away
