This War

Silence falls around my ears and you were screaming: I can't hear a sound
I'm all out of ammunition, so I lay my weapon down
There is no more room to stand, I've given up on turning you around
So I've hit my hands and knees on a bloodstained battleground

Oh, let my tears be the mercy to wash it clean
You were used to watching me beg, now watch me leave

'Cause there is no war if I won't fight
There is no blame, no wrong or right
No winner, no reward
There never is, so I'm giving up this war

There was a time, not long ago, I was in the same corner as you
Fighting for more strength and not our weaknesses, exposing all our wounds

Oh, let my tears be the mercy to wash them clean, oh
You were used to watching me beg, now watch me leave

'Cause there is no war if I won't fight
There is no blame, no wrong or right
There's no winner, no reward
There never is, so I'm giving up this war

If you want to fight, then fight to keep me, not push me away
I got a mind for control, but it's only protecting the heart that's longing to feel sane

'Cause there is no war if I won't fight
There is no blame, no wrong or right
Oh, there's no winner, no reward
There never is, so I'm giving up this war
Oh, this war

Silence falls around my ears and you were screaming: I can't hear a sound
