Between a Bullet and Heartbreak - Dua Lipa Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't know what you've lost 'til it's gone
You can't hear silence up to this lung
You can't tie heartstrings when they're left undone
You can't go back when you've left too long
I try to push us to the very end
I needed a lover more than a friend
But I hit the limit I didn't intend
And I just wanna make amends

[Pre-Chorus]
Wish that you would hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to me now, yeah

[Chorus]
I put myself between a bullet and a heartbreak
And now I'm staring at the emptiness that I've made
I put myself between a bullet and a heartbreak
And all I wanted was you but I shot love down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

[Verse 2]
In the darkness I hear your voice
Memories of us I feel destroyed
My mind is playing tricks and I have no choice
Without you my heart makes no noise

[Pre-Chorus]
Wish that you would hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to me now, yeah

[Chorus]
I put myself between a bullet and a heartbreak
And now I'm staring at the emptiness that I've made
I put myself between a bullet and a heartbreak
And all I wanted was you but I shot love down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

[Bridge]
All I needed was you
All I wanted was you
All I needed was you

[Chorus]
I put myself between a bullet and a heartbreak
And now I'm staring at the emptiness that I've made
I put myself between a bullet and a heartbreak
And all I wanted was you but I shot love down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
