lyrics

We keep our problems on the shelf
Too scared to say what’s true
I fear that I’ll be catching hell
For keeping secrets to my self
A selfish thing to do

My thoughts fall heavy on my head
I don’t know what to say
Raise my hands you caught me red
I’m lying where I made my bed
Too bruised to walk away 

And I am asking you to try
To believe me when I lie

 Tell me what we’re fighting for
Give an inch I’ll take a score
They say all’s fair in love and war
Tell me what we’re fighting for 

Emotion is a bitter pill
That’s roiling in my gut
I tell you it might hurt and still
You let me move in for the kill
I almost take the shot 

You say that we can talk it out
I really hope that’s true
Every word is sick with doubt
We’re wounded and we’re bleeding out
I want to save us too 

But if I drop when you say when
Will you break my fall again

Won’t you tell me what we’re fighting for
Give an inch I’ll take a score
They say all’s fair in love and war
Tell me what we’re fighting for 

We scream ourselves out of our minds
It doesn’t make a sound
Good intentions undermined
We overwrite and press rewind
And circle back around

I know it’s not my place to say
Would you stay here anyway - hey
Honey would you stay with me, stay

 Tell me what we’re fighting for
Give an inch I’ll take a score
I want back what we had before
And nothing scares me anymore
They say all’s fair in
Love and war
