War In My Chest

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

I built a fortress out of quiet rooms

Every mirror shows a stranger's face

You were patient

You were poison too

Now I flinch at every act of grace

Pre-Chorus

I don't know how to let you in

My hands are trembling at the door

You keep knocking anyway

I keep lying on the floor

Chorus

You are not the enemy

You are not the enemy

The war is in my chest

The war is in my chest

I surrender

I surrender

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh)

(Oh-oh)

Verse 2

I carved a weapon from a compliment

Turned your kindness into a knife

Every soft word felt like punishment

Every calm felt like a fight

Pre-Chorus

I don't know how to hold your hand

My palms are sweating through the night

You keep reaching anyway

I keep pulling out of sight

Chorus

You are not the enemy

You are not the enemy

The war is in my chest

The war is in my chest

I surrender

I surrender

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh)

(Oh-oh)

Bridge

Maybe I'm the one who burned it down

Maybe I'm the one who wore the crown

Maybe you were standing on my side

Maybe I was fighting all this time

Chorus

You are not the enemy

You are not the enemy

The war is in my chest

The war is in my chest

I surrender

I surrender

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh)

(Oh-oh)
