A silhouette is all that we have left
Lover's leap we never could sustain
Now I'm left shivering out here
Burnt by cigarettes and phone taps

Single file, closed like a switchblade
Mouth shut, break out and run away
Now I'm left with nowhere to go
It's too bad i can't go home

Cross me once, I'll let it slide
Cross my twice, we will collide
Like a bullet train that derailed,
A failed attempt to assassinate desire
Cross my heart, caught in a cross fire

A silhouette is all that I had left
Strike a match, let it burn behind me
Trip wire, caught me off my guard
All this time I was sleeping with the enemy

I need a strength most don't possess
Cold breath, a shot without a chaser
instead, I can still taste her

Cross me once, I'll let it slide
Cross my twice, we will collide
Like a bullet train that derailed,
A failed attempt to assassinate desire
Cross my heart, caught in a cross fire

I was all you needed, all you wanted but I'm losing again
I said I'm losing again
I was all you needed, all you wanted but I'm losing again
I said I'm losing again

Cross me once, I'll let it slide
Cross my twice, we will collide
Like a bullet train that derailed,
A failed attempt to assassinate desire
Cross my heart, caught in a cross fire
