"War In Your Arms" lyrics

"War In Your Arms"

Pushed by my silence
Watching you burn with a fire
I'm so tired of the struggle
But lover I'm gone

'Cause you were never gonna change
And it was war in your arms
I knew I had to walk away
It was war in your arms

And I could have been a fighter
Holding my fists a little tighter
Finding my breath saying love you did me wrong
And I could have been a soldier
So many things could have told ya
All of that time it was wasted on your love
Should have said I've had enough

Pulled by reliance
Keeping me when we'd expired
I was stuck in denial
But lover I'm gone

'Cause you were never gonna change
And it was war in your arms
I know I had to walk away
It was war in your arms

And I could have been a fighter
Holding my fists a little tighter
Finding my breath saying love you did me wrong
And I could have been a soldier
So many things could have told ya
All of that time it was wasted on your love
I should have said I've had enough

When the world broke in
I could stop and think
This war is done
Nobody won
When the world broke in
I could stop and think
This war is done
Nobody won

And I could have been a fighter
Holding my fists a little tighter
Finding my breath saying love you did me wrong
And I could have been a soldier
So many things could have told ya
All of that time it was wasted on you
It was wasted on you

And I could have been a soldier
So many things I should have have told ya
All of that time it was wasted on your love
Should have said I've had enough
