War Lyrics by Rose Betts

2024

[Verse 1]
I’m not gonna start the fire
Or start the war
Even though damage
Is the tongue you talk
‘Cause I’ve got nothing left to burn here
It’s all yours
If you want to lose it
What you waiting for

[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s easy to break things
To pull them apart
And you’ve turned destruction
To some kind of art
I’ll hold up my head
Like I held out my heart
On that day in July
In the back of my car
I only wanted more
You only wanted war

[Verse 2]
I tried to reach you
Tried to change
I took the past from your shoulders
I took a piece of your pain
But you, you want a world
That you can blame
And I’m collateral damage
I only get in your way

[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s easy to break things
To pull them apart
And you’ve turned destruction
To some kind of art
I’ll hold up my head
Like I held out my heart
On that day in July
In the back of my car
I only wanted more
You only wanted war

[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s easy to break things
To pull them apart
And you’ve turned destruction
To some kind of art
I hope that you’re happy
Wherever you are
Like I was in July
Before you broke my heart
I only wanted more
All that I got was war
