War Lyrics by She Is We

WAR

2016

[Verse 1]
Loving you was always an excuse to survive
But in time, you were the death of me
I play it cool but there's a fire that's still burning inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Reminding me you were right, you were right
Even though I tried, you were right

[Chorus]
Head and heart a rival war
Watch the bullets downpour
Chaos lighting up the sky
I let you in so easy
Turn myself against me
You became my suicide

[Verse 2]
Said that I would never make a compromise
But I did, and now it hurts to breathe
Ghost ringing bells inside of my tired head

[Pre-Chorus]
Reminding me you were right, you were right
Even though I tried, you were right

[Chorus]
Head and heart a rival war
Watch the bullets downpour
Chaos lighting up the sky
I let you in so easy
Turn myself against me
You became my suicide

[Verse 3]
I'm treading water
Barely alive but I'm breathing
They say I'm strong like my father
Fighting all of my demons
I'm treading water
Barely alive but I'm breathing
They say I'm strong like my father
Fighting all of my demons

[Chorus]
Hand and heart a rival war
Watch the bullets downpour
Chaos lighting up the sky
I let you in so easy
Turn myself against me
You became my suicide

(You were right...)

Head and heart a rival war
Watch the bullets downpour (You were right...)
Chaos lighting up the sky (Even though I tried...)
I let you in so easy
Turn myself against me (You were right...)
You became my suicide
You were right
You were right
Even though I tried
You were right
