Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
We're so close to each other, but the closer we get, the higher the arguments escalate. Everything that I have ends up strewn across the room because you lost your temper. We fight so much that most of the time we forget what it was about! It's a competition, whatever I say, you fire something back 10x worse.
I can't keep up with your turning tables
under your thumb I can't breathe
One minute you're happy, the next you're angry, I can't keep up! I need some time alone.
So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
So, if you're going to try to hurt me, I'll take a step back. Every time you're in trouble, I save you, but when the tables are turned, you keep your distance, and I'm not putting up with it anymore. I'm not going to give you what you thought you gave me, but never did. So I'm leaving you alone with your alternative personalities.
Under haunted skies I see you (ooh)
Where love is lost your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down, whoa
I see you in a light that isn't the best. You are where nothing good ever comes from. It took time, but I managed to leave. No matter how hard you try to put me down, I won't let you anymore.
I can't keep up with your turning tables
under your thumb I can't breathe
One minute you're happy, the next you're angry, I can't keep up! I need some time alone.
So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables

Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet
The next time I fall for someone, I'll be more wary, and I'll be stronger. I won't need anyone else to save me, I'll do it myself. When a war starts, I'll be OK, saving myself without any help.
I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Turning tables, yeah
Turning, oh
So, if you're going to try to hurt me, I'll take a step back. Every time you're in trouble, I save you, but when the tables are turned, you keep your distance, and I'm not putting up with it anymore.
