[Verse 1]

I guess we all know the game

The rules apply

To everyone the same

We aim

To play it clean without us breaking

Still open to whatever is waiting

Us in the blind


[Pre-Chorus]

Once I was a soldier

Leaned on no one’s shoulder

Kept my guard

It wasn’t hard

But then he stumbled on me

My walls crumbled before him

I was homing

And without knowing


[Chorus]

Disarmed by the killer

He wore such a divine disguise

Disarmed by the killer

The universe shone through his eyes

And he made me trust

It all felt just so right

So, when he pulled the plug on love

I died


[Verse 2]

I guess we all suffer the same

The ones who fail

To recognize the game

We blame

Ourselves for seeing none of the signs

So mad we failed to read between the lines

To not confide


[Pre-Chorus]

Once I was a soldier

Leaned on no one’s shoulder

Kept my guard

It wasn’t hard

But then he stumbled on me

My walls crumbled before him

I was homing

And without knowing


[Chorus]

Disarmed by the killer

He wore such a divine disguise

Disarmed by the killer

The universe shone through his eyes

And he made me trust

It all felt just so right

So, when he pulled the plug on love

I died
