V5.5

[VERSE 1] She waits for me behind the silver Wearing every face I hide Knows the names I never answer Knows the rooms where I divide She counts the ways I could be better Measures every breath I take Turns my skin into a courtroom Makes perfection from mistake [PRE-CHORUS] I lift my hand She does the same I ask who taught her To speak with my shame [CHORUS] Beautiful enemy You wear my face, you carry my memory You know exactly where to cut into me Beautiful enemy I fought you like you were somebody else But every blow was landing on myself If I destroy you, what is left of me? My beautiful enemy [VERSE 2] She was born from every sentence That began with not enough From the love that came with limits From the hands that called me tough She became my perfect jailer Built her keys from my regret But beneath her painted armor There is still a child unmet [BRIDGE] Come out from behind the mirror Lay the sharpened pieces down I will not demand your silence I will not let you make me drown You were only trying to save me With the weapons you were shown We can learn another language We do not have to bleed alone [BREAKDOWN - SCREAM] NO MORE WAR INSIDE THIS BODY NO MORE HATE BENEATH MY NAME I WILL HOLD THE ONE I RAN FROM I WILL WALK US THROUGH THE FLAME [FINAL CHORUS] Beautiful enemy You wear my face, you carry my memory I know exactly why you cut into me Beautiful enemy I will not leave you trapped behind the glass We are more than every shadow in the past I see the wounded heart you hid from me My beautiful enemy [OUTRO] The mirror does not disappear But now I see us clearly
