  • Stone cold
    You wake me when the phone vibrates
    Your voice sounds dulled, but loud enough to hear you
    Distant, echoes of my heart unbreak
    Silently now, I'm waiting for this storm to come
    I'm waiting for this this storm to come
    Listen to you load that gun
    I'm waiting for this storm to come

    And with one strike
    My world lights up in a fire
    Call it a sign
    Don't need hindsight
    I'll make my emotions clear
    And then disappear
    With one strike (one strike)
    Mmm, one strike

    Shattered, pieces of your words take aim
    Your poisoned tongue
    But I don't want to believe you (don't want to believe you, don't want to believe you)
    Torn up, stitches of my own heart ache
    Violently numb, I'm ready for this storm to come
    I'm ready for the storm to come
    Listen to you load that gun
    I'm ready for the storm to come

    And with one strike
    My world lights up a fire
    Call it a sign
    Don't need hindsight
    I'll make my emotions clear
    And then disappear
    And with one strike
    My world lights up in a fire
    Call it a sign
    And with one strike
    One strike
    With one strike
    With one strike
    One strike
    With one strike
    With one strike

    I don't want to stay, time to go
    I don't want to be in this home
    Broken promises, time to leave
    I had everything that you needed
    I don't want to stay, time to go
    I don't want to be in this home
    Broken promises, time to leave
    I had everything that you needed

    And with one strike
    My world lights up in a fire
    Call it a sign
    Don't need hindsight
    I'll make my emotions clear
    And then disappear
    And with one strike
    Mmm, with one strike

    Oh-oh
    Why'd you go lie?
    Oh-oh
    Why, oh, why?
    Oh-oh
    Watch you go by
    Oh-oh
