[Verse 1]
Leave me out in misery
Your hands around my neck
Tie me to the old oak tree
I need a place to rest

[Chorus]
Would you mind if I lied?
I don't suppose you know that I tried?
So I smiled, waved goodbye
I told you not to worry
Let's pretend it's only friendly fire
It's friendly fire
Ooh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Leave me out a melody
Pin it to my bones
Send me out on the raging sea
I need to be alone

[Chorus]
If I smiled, waved goodbye
And told you not to worry
Let's pretend it's only friendly fire
It's friеndly fire
Ooh, oh-oh
[Bridge]
'Cause your words are likе medicine
I'm not letting them back in
There's nowhere I'd rather be when you're lying here with me

[Chorus]
Would you mind if I lied?
I don't suppose you know that I tried?
So I smiled, waved goodbye
And told you not to worry
Let's pretend it's only friendly fire
It's friendly fire
Ooh, oh-oh
It's friendly fire

[Outro]
Leave an hour if you please
I want to hold your hand
Tell me how it's meant to be
I need to understand
