Ambushed
every night that i lay awake
i think of you
and i can't believe the way
you make me feel
such a rush of emotion
at every turn
i would search for you in the ocean
but i never learn
every fight that we have
breaks my heart
and i can't believe that
you knew from the start
if it's love you wanted
well here it is
but no one would have predicted
it would turn out like this
every dice that i roll
could turn into devil's eyes
and i cant believe the gold
that you stole was actually mine
if its blood you wanted
well i'm not your type
if its me you wanna punish
well i'm not even gonna lie
and i have every right
to try and make it work
cause i won't give up without a fight
even if it really hurts
cause what we have
is worth too much
for our feelings to get ambushed
and turn to dust
