You Won Me Back

[Intro – clean guitar, restrained vocal] So you think you won… [silence] That’s not how love lives on… [Verse 1] You can’t build heaven Out of fire and blame You lit the match Then called it fate You turned every touch Into a battlefield Then wore your wounds Like they proved you were real [Pre-Chorus] Love don’t scream Love don’t scar Love don’t leave you Wondering who you are [Chorus] You give love a bad name Cause it was always about you Every tear, every flame Every war that you pulled me through So you think you won? Fine, I’ll give you that You won… You won me a life back Without you [Verse 2] A wolf lives for the pack Protects what’s his But a stray dog bites the world Cause pain’s all that it is You called it love I call it control A hungry mouth With a hollow soul [Pre-Chorus] I see it clear Now that you’re gone The cage was yours I just lived too long in it [Chorus] You give love a bad name Cause it was always about you Every bruise, every chain Every lie I survived through So you think you won? Fine, I’ll give you that You won… You won me a life back Without you [Bridge – half-time breakdown] Take your victory Wear your crown Build your kingdom Burn it down You can keep Everything we were Cause I breathe better Now that you’re gone [Final Chorus – biggest] You give love a bad name But now I know the truth Love don’t hurt this way Love don’t look like you So you think you won? Yeah… I’ll give you that You won… You won me my life back Without you [Outro – stripped, final line] Best thing you ever did… Was leave.
