lyrics

I close my eyes and see the time that we spent,
Waiting for the day when we can just be friends again.
Cos everything I say shoots arrows at you,
You’re no better yourself slipping me poison with everything that you do,
So take care not to step there because,
That nerve is exposed and will blow up in your face.
It seems we’re a minefield
And we recklessly endanger ourselves every time we’re in the same place

Is it not time for a breather in this war of words?
Wave the white flag and say you’re sorry for the sake of us?
Is it not time to forgive each other for the things we haven’t done?
I just got out of a relationship with you and quite frankly I’m not having very much fun.

Cos she’s the best and the worst that I ever had,
The bullet holes on my soul will tell you that,
Scars on my heart and pain on my brain,
I’m out of this one and I’m not quite the same
And if you can’t take this amnesty then it’s goodbye to you and me.

Your battle cry breaks the silence once more,
You’re two pints of white wine down and I just called you a whore.
Send a warning shot by slapping me round the head,
Throw grenades by making reference to my prowess in bed
Followed by a red face, what a waste of energy and public pride as everybody stares
A casualty of our fighting is that I can’t pull and you look a fool and no one really cares,

Is it not time for a breather in this war of words?
Wave the white flag and say you’re sorry for the sake of us?
Is it not time to forgive each other for the things we do?
Aggressive physical contact’s not as much fun when it’s not in the bedroom

What a surprise, we’re ruining lives,
Conscripted our friends to pick sides and join the fight
It’s like we can’t abide each other and out of spite
We forget what we should do and use our might
To try to make each other cry whenever we’re in line of sight, it’s useless, why?
Why am I suddenly feeling like I’m out of time?
Can we draw the line? My flag is white

Is it not time for a breather in this war of words?
Wave the white flag and say you’re sorry for the sake of us?
Is it not time to forgive each other for the things we’ve done?
I’m getting so upset about all this I think I’m just going to go home and write a song!
