Verse 1:
I would Emmarch across the Cdesert to deGfeat my eneDmy
And I would Emlie here in the Ctrenches with your Gpicture next to Dme
And when I Emtold you it's forCever, then it's Ghow its gonna Dbe
Don't, Emwon't let him just Ctake the place of Gme (NoD..)
Pre-Chorus:
Does he really Emknow you like CI know you, Gall the little Dthings?
Does he really Emlove you, like CI love you, Ghow can he comDpete?
If he makes me Emfight for you, Cdie for you, Gwould he do the Dsame?
This is Emturning into Cway more than a Ggame..D
Chorus:
Now it feels like Emsoldiers in a Cwar and none of Gus are backing Ddown
And I will show you Emvictory is Cmine before we Gleave this battleDground
Cause he don't wanna Cleave, and I don't wanna Dgo
And I know just Emhow this battle Ggoes
He don't wanna Cleave and I don't wanna Dfight this kind of Gwar
Verse 2:
You know he's Emnot the man you Cthink he is; he's Ghiding all his Dflaws
So tell me Emwhat's the point of Cfighting? Because we'll Gall end up with Dscars
But girl if Emthat's what I must Cgo through, then I'm Gnot prepared to Dlose
Cause EmI've already Cbled so much for Gyou (DNo..)
Pre-Chorus:
Does he really Emknow you like CI know you, Gall the little Dthings?
Does he really Emlove you, like CI love you, Ghow can he comDpete?
If he makes me Emfight for you, Cdie for you, Gwould he do the Dsame?
Baby this is Emturning into Cway more than a gamGe..D
Chorus:
Baby cause we're Emsoldiers in a Cwar and none of Gus are backing Ddown
And I will show you Emvictory is Cmine before we Gleave this battleDground
Cause he don't wanna Cleave, and I don't wanna Dgo
And I know just Emhow this battle Ggoes
He don't wanna Cleave and I don't wanna Dfight this kind of Gwar (No, No..)
Bridge:
Getting kind of sick of this Ambattle
Wish I could take it back to when I Emhad you
I'm always thinking that I can Dhave you, just let him Chave you
It's getting kinda hard to conAmvince you
After all the shit that we've Embeen through
Why would you let all this Dhappen?
You gotta choice to Cmake it stop
It's already Dgoing too far..
Chorus:
Girl we're Emsoldiers in a Cwar and none of Gus are backing Ddown
And I will show you Emvictory is Cmine before we Gleave this battleDground
Cause he don't wanna Cleave, and I don't wanna Dgo
And I know just Emhow this battle Ggoes
He don't wanna Cleave and I don't wanna Dfight this kind of Gwar
Cause he don't wanna Cleave, and I don't wanna Dgo
