[Verse 1]
            
Combat, I'm re

      
ady for combat
              
I say I don't 

            
want that, but

           
 what if I do?
            
'Cause cruelty

              
 wins in the m

   
ovies
              
I've got a hun

              
dred thrown-ou

            
t speeches I a

              
lmost said to 


you


[Pre-Chorus]
          
Easy they come

, easy they go
              
I jump from th

   
e train, I rid

e off alone
              
I never grew u

             
p, it's gettin

       
g so old
              
Help me hold o


n to you


[Chorus]
              
I've been the 

  
archer, I've b

een the prey
              
Who could ever

   
 leave me, dar

ling

But who could stay?


[Verse 2]
            
Dark side, I s

              
earch for your

  
 dark side
              
But what if I'

            
m alright, rig

And I cut off

o spite my fac

Then I hate my

              
 reflection fo

  
r years and ye

ars


[Pre-Chorus]
              
I wake in the 


night, I pace 

like a ghost
              
The room is on

   
 fire, invisib

le smoke
     
And all of my 

heroes die all

 alone
 
Help me hold o

n to you


[Chorus]
              
I've been the 

   
archer, I've b

een the prey
              
Screaming, who

             
 could ever le

ave me, darlin

g
              
But who could 

 
stay?

(I see right through me, I see right through me)


[Bridge]
   
'Cause they se

e right throug

h me
   
They see right

 through me
  
They see right

 through
   
Can you see ri

ght through me

?
   
They see right

 through
   
They see right

 through me
 
I see right th

rough me
 
I see right th

rough me


[Pre-Chorus]
 
All the king's

 horses, all t

he king's men
 
Couldn't put m

e together aga

in
 
'Cause all of 

my enemies sta

rted out frien

ds
  
Help me hold o

n to you


[Chorus]
              
I've been the 

            
archer, I've b

        
een the prey
              
Who could ever

            
 leave me, dar

ling
              
But who could 


stay?

(I see right through me, I see right through me)
          
Who could stay

?
          
Who could stay

?
          
Who could stay

?
          
You could stay
             
You could stay
