built u weapons lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn’t mean to write you
Didn’t mean to miss you like I do
But here’s a page, torn from my chest
A birthday wish, a late regret
I wasn’t ready to know
Wasn’t ready to feel it grow
You were just a safe place then
A hurricane I called a friend

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I was too soft
Maybe I cared too much
Maybe you saw what I hid from myself
When I was too young to call it love

[Chorus]
Built you weapons from my hands
Loved you wrong, you didn’t stand a chance
You caught the fire I tried to hide
You aimed it back without a fight
Built you weapons out of truth
Before I even knew thе war was you
I loved you blind, I loved you bruised
Built you wеapons you never had to use
[Verse 2]
You thought I was jealous
I was terrified for you
Didn’t hate him ’cause I cared too little
Hated him ‘cause I knew he’d break you too
I laughed it off, buried the spark
Held my breath when you touched my heart
And somewhere in the silence you heard
What I never said in words

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was too soft
Maybe I cared too much
Maybe you caught the lightning inside
Before I even turned on the lights

[Chorus]
Built you weapons from my hands
Loved you wrong, you didn’t stand a chance
You caught the fire I tried to hide
You aimed it back without a fight
Built you weapons out of truth
Before I even knew the war was you
I loved you blind, I loved you bruised
Built you weapons you never had to use
[Bridge]
Eighteen months, another name
But you stayed printed on my brain
I moved on but didn’t move past
You’re the echo in my aftermath

[Chorus]
Built you weapons from my hands
Loved you wrong, you didn’t stand a chance
You caught the fire I tried to hide
You aimed it back without a fight
Built you weapons out of truth
Before I even knew the war was you
I loved you blind, I loved you bruised
Built you weapons you never had to use

[Outro]
Built you weapons
Built you weapons
From the love I never meant to lose
