Lyrics

Heard the sound of the sirens

Penetrating the silence

Are we doing this again?

Tell me this is not how it ends

Broken glass on the counter

Not another encounter

We go 'round for 'round, pound for pound

Over and over and over

After all we've lost

And all it cost

Some things we just

Can't afford to say

I can't keep repeating

So I'm retreating

I can't find a reason

For me to stay

All this blood on the table

And bodies on the floor

It's a war, it's a war that I don't wanna fight no more

Only heaven can save us

Stretch my hands to the Lord, yeah

The choice is yours, it's a war that we don't have to fight no more

We can split the homes down the middle

Send them cars back to the dealers

The jewelry and the chinchillas, you can take 'em with ya

I'm done chasing rainbows like Skittles

Every other text is a riddle

You can't be wrong and belittle

Tammy and Tamisha are no friends

They riding in your Benz

You listening to women with no men

That don't make no sense

You tryna find me guilty with no prints

What's a BFF to all these VVS's?

All your little girlfriends starting little messes

The only thing missing are their wedding dresses

While they was counting exes, you was counting blessings

Imagine going half on a loft outside the city

Sometimes silence is way worse than violence

Feel like we on two different islands

Oh, when there's blood on the table

And bodies on the floor

It's a war, it's a war that I don't wanna fight no more, yeah

Only heaven can save us

Stretch my hands to the Lord

Ay, the choice is yours, it's a war that we don't have to fight no more

They say all is fair in love and war

But what am I still jealous for?

I let you leave, but can't let you go

Is there someone else? I don't wanna know

Can't see those hands on your body

It's either me or nobody

But is the good worth the bad?

Do I miss what we had

So much that I need it right back?

After all this time

Can't get you off my mind

Maybe I drank too much, and I

Just need you tonight

Late night call

Do you miss me at all?

We'll get back together, no regret

Until the morning light

Oh, when there's blood on the table

And bodies on the floor

It's a war, it's a war that I don't wanna fight no more, yeah

Only heaven can save us

Stretch my hands to the Lord

Ay, the choice is yours, it's a war that we don't have to fight no more

Said we don't have to fight no more

Oh, we don't have to fight no more

It's a war, it's a war that we don't have to fight no more
