The Archer lyrics

[Verse 1]

Combat, I'm ready for combat

I say I don't want that

But what if I do?

'Cause cruelty wins in the movies

I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you

[Pro-Chorus]

Easy they come, easy they go

I jump from the train, I ride off alone

I never grew up, it's getting so old

Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

Who could ever leave me darling...

But who could stay?

[Verse 2]

Dark side

I search for your dark side

But what if I'm all right, right, right, right here?

And I cut off my nose just to spite my face

Then hate my reflection for years and years

[Pro-Chorus]

I wake in the night

I pace like a ghost

The room is on fire

Invisible smoke

And all my heroes die all alone

Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

Screaming who could ever leave me darling...

But who could stay?

[Bridge]

'Cause they see right through me

They see right through me

They see right through me

Can you see right through me?

They see right through

They see right through me

I see right through me

I see right through me

[Pre-Chrous]

All the king's horses

All the king's men

Couldn't put me together again

'Cause all of my enemies started out friends

Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

Who could ever leave me darling...

But who could stay?

Who could stay?

Who could stay?

Who could stay?

You could stay

You could stay

[Outro]

Combat

I'm ready for combat
