[Intro]
[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
ht, right, rig
ht here?
And I cut off
my nose just t
o spite my fac
e
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
Who could ever
leave me, dar
ling
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
...
[Outro]
Combat, I'm re
ady for combat
