[Intro]
  

[Verse]
            
The words I sp

       
eak are wildfi

res and weeds
           
They spread li

        
ke some awful 

damn disease
            
I swear I didn

             
’t mean what I

 
 said
            
I swear I didn

       
’t mean it

[Verse]
            
Now listen clo

   
se
           
You owe me ear

s for dropping

 eaves
            
Forget it all


              
You caught me 


in a moment we

ak
           
Sometimes I ju

              
st can’t help 

 
myself
            
Sometimes I ca

             
n’t help mysel

     
f at all

[Chorus]
            
Are we allies

This will be t

              
he death of me

  
  

[Verse]
           
Remember when
             
I could tell y

              
ou not to smil

              
e when you wer

      
e mad?
    
And you would 

always crack,
            
And we’d both 

             
be laughing in

     
 the end
            
Now you’re not

             
 so quick to f


orget

[Chorus]
            
Are we allies

is will be the

 death of me
            
This will be t

           
he death of me
            
All is fair in

             
 love and war,

     
 but I can’t f

ight with you 

anymore
            
This will be t

[Bridge]
             
What happens n

   
ow?
      
Do we have ano

ther go?
           
Do we bow out 

    
and take our s

eparate roads?
            
I’ll admit I’v

        
e had my doubt

s
            
But I want to 

             
be let in not

But I want to 

             
be let in not

This will be t

           
he death of me
            
All is fair in
