War

_{I'm divided in two.}

My mind doesn't want love
it doesn't want to care
it doesn't want to deal with it now
because it knows you'll never be here

_{it's a
fortress}

but my heart wants so much love
it craves nothing more
and every day it wants to believe
that you're standing outside my door

_{right there
on the doorstep}

there's a war going on inside of me
heart versus mind
love versus logic
a never-ending conflict
why can't it stop
I don't want to fight

any more

_{no
more
fighting}

you're holding the white flag
and you're clutching it so tight
without even knowing
you're making me fight

_{give it back}

I don't want to do this
but it's beyond my control
because you're holding the strings
and I am the doll

_{no peace}

the war is always more fierce at night
when my mind loses its grip
and my heart speaks its mind

I just want you to know
I just want you here
there is nothing more I want
than for you to care

_{about me.}

Your innocent ignorance is poison

and you are too far away

_{from me}

I thought I had given up a long time ago
I thought I had made my own white flag

but

it suddenly broke
and the war blazed up again

but this time
it is different from before
at first I wanted to fight for you

but this time

it feels impossible
for either side to win

_{no ending in sight.}


The soldiers are tired

but forced to fight

so they carry their weapons

into the night.
