Battle Lines
It’s getting late and I’m tired of fighting
If it’s so important for you to say you won
Then I guess you have claimed your objective
Because when the morning comes, I’ll be gone
This war of words we wage is killing us
The love we once shared has become a casualty
I’ll wave the white flag if you want me to
All I want is for you to set me free
Chorus:
I am so tired of these battle lines
I can’t defend myself anymore
I used to feel so close to you
Now I’m a prisoner of war
They say that all is fair in love and war
That seems to be the case when you combine the two
We’ve been engaged in some kind of grudge match
And no one holds a grudge as long as you
Chorus:
I am so tired of these battle lines
I can’t defend myself anymore
I used to feel so close to you
Now I’m a prisoner of war
A harsh word once spoken can’t be recalled
When our mouths take the shots, our hearts absorb the blow
I’ve faced you in anger for the last time
I won’t be the enemy anymore
Chorus:
I am so tired of these battle lines
I can’t defend myself anymore
I used to feel so close to you
Now I’m a prisoner of war
