Lyrics

[Intro]
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
[Verse 1]
We rinse and repeat what is eating me up inside
Cold of the words all day
And heat of the love all night
We trade nothing back but we keep giving out our time
Everyone in our lives
Instead of only you and I
[PreChorus]
Every day we feel deflated
Trying to roll with all the changes
Reality of what we've created
We're not fine
I can feel the pressure breaking
Everything that we've been building
It won't stop until it kills us
Don't lie
[Chorus]
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
I guess to want the pleasure, got to take it with the pain
Till we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
Guess to want the pleasure, got to take it with the pain
Till we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
[Verse 2]
There's no one above or below, you are all I want
But I feel that it's not enough
To just offer you my love
Inches from moving out and moving on
This tension and what we've got?
But when will the fighting stop?
[PreChorus]
Every day we feel deflated
Trying to roll with all the changes
Reality of what we've created
We're not fine
I can feel the pressure breaking
Everything that we've been building
It won't stop until it kills us
Don't lie
[Chorus]
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
I guess to want the pleasure, got to take it with the pain
Till we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
Guess to want the pleasure, got to take it with the pain
Till we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
[Bridge]
You still hold my flame, yeah
Put me in my place, yeah
Caught in this war game, yeah
Till we die
Do we leave or stay? Yeah
Do we mend or break? Yeah
Caught in this war game, yeah
Till we die
[Chorus]
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
I guess to want the pleasure, got to take it with the pain
Till we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
Guess to want the pleasure, got to take it with the pain
Till we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
[Outro]
Don't break on us
Don't fall to dust
Don't kill the love
