Barbed Wire Between Us

[Verse 1]
You turn your cheek
I turn the key
Same old driveway
Feels like leaving me
Your eyes go silent
Mine start to sting
I hold out my hand
You don't feel a thing
[Chorus]
It's like barbed wire between us
Every time I reach
I bleed
I got scars where your touch should be
You keep pulling out of my arms
Like I'm poison on your skin
I'm losing you in slow motion again
[Verse 2]
Dinner goes cold
TV stays loud
I crack a bad joke
You stare at the ground
You roll to your side
I stare at the fan
I keep saying "I love you"
You just say "yeah"
[Chorus]
It's like barbed wire between us
Every time I reach
I bleed
I got scars where your touch should be
You keep pulling out of my arms
Like I'm poison on your skin
I'm losing you in slow motion again
[Bridge]
How did we get from wildfire
To ashes in the sink? (yeah)
From kissing in the truck bed
To sleeping on the brink?
I'm begging for a heartbeat
You won't let me in
Every time I lean closer
You turn your shoulder again (hey!)
[Chorus]
It's like barbed wire between us
Every time I reach
I bleed
I got scars where your touch should be
You keep pulling out of my arms
Like I'm poison on your skin
I'm losing you in slow motion again
[Outro]
You turn off the light
I turn on the pain
Two rings on the table
One heartbeat in this frame
