Ceasefire Lyrics

It's not my intention to build up the tension

I've just been fighting to keep your attention

Built armies and navies thinking somehow we'd maybe

Just lay down our arms and stop pinning the blame

But we keep launching missiles, the cavalry's ready

To burn down these bridges and level your cities

I'm caught in your crosshairs

I know that it's all fair in love and war

But this just feels petty

Why are we intent on breaking everything we've built

To say congratulations on your sweet victory

We're only adding insult to injury

So let's call a ceasefire

Broke through my walls and you tore down the paintings

Where once there was stained glass are now bullet casings

And outside the war rages on til the morning

Too late to retreat, should've heeded the warnings

Love is the cost of my pride in the battlefield

Starting to wonder if these wounds will ever heal

Emotions are spent and I'm left here defenseless

In the wreckage of what we called a friendship

Why are we intent on breaking everything we've built

To say congratulations on your sweet victory

Scared that we might just become history

So let's call a ceasefire

Can we call a ceasefire?

Oh oh

I never planned this collateral damage

What I used to want, why does it even matter?

If I've won why's it feel like I'm losing?

If I've lost well then who am I fooling?

Can we call a ceasefire?

Why are we intent on breaking everything we've built

To say congratulations on your sweet victory

I hope you like the emptiness you've won from me

Let's call a ceasefire
