Frozen in position forced to watch all those decisions they made finally taking their form
And a highlight reel still plays in the middle while both parties prepare for war

Maybe it's my fear that leads me to the truth and love that leads me to lie
I feel a similar pain in both of my sides
I wish I could always do what was right

I'll be the one that strikes first
Because I can't let what I love get hurt

All the cold shoulders you serve for dessert I bet we're going to bite you back after this
You wonder why they hate you when you knew I was new there's poison deep in your kiss

Yeah frozen while I listen with the clouds in my decisions I'm putting up a pretty good front
I don't care if I'm callous after this you'll see what I've done

I'll be the one that strikes first
Because I can't let what I love get hurt
Because I'll be the one that strikes first
Because I can't let what I love get hurt
