Turning Tables


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

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

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

Under haunted skies I see you
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

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

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

Next time I'll be braver
I’ll be my own saviour when the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I’ll be my own saviour, standing on my own two feet

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, no
