Casualty
Love's Battlecry: A Symphony of Heartbreak
Lyrics
Too close to see so much of love we stop breathing
Feeling overwhelmed by love, causing a lack of breath
Sweet history ain't enough to keep my heart beating
Past experiences in love aren't sufficient to sustain emotions
So many tips for you I sacrificed
Offered many pieces of advice for you, sacrificed for your benefit
Too many lies for you I justified
Justified too many falsehoods for your sake
How can you stand there sayin' you know who's to blame
Questioning how you can accuse without taking responsibility
How can you verify everything is OK
Asking how everything can seem fine when it might not be
Don't tell me you love me
Challenging the sincerity of 'I love you' when there's harm involved
Then put a gun to my head
Expressing emotional manipulation and pressure despite claims of love
And say I'm not trying, no
Denial of effort despite assertions
Don't tell me you want me
Doubting the authenticity of 'wanting' when actions contradict
Then come to my bed
Intimacy followed by denial of the relationship's issues
And then tell we're not dyin'
Refusing to acknowledge a deteriorating situation
One of us has gonna be
Implying an inevitable tragic outcome for one
A one of us has gonna be
Reiterating the impending casualty for one
A casualty
Highlighting the inevitability of someone becoming a casualty
It's cold in here
(Repeats the same sentiments as lines 8-16)
And my heart's to want you to hold me
-Baby you never hear
-But when you with me I can say it now
-I see you talking but your lips don't lipsynch
-You see me crying but my tears don't hurt you now
-How can you stand there sayin' you know who's to blame
-How can you verify everything is OK
-Don't tell me you love me
-Then put a gun to my head
-And say I'm not trying, no
-Don't tell me you want me
-Then come to my bed
-And then tell we're not dyin'
-One of us has gonna to be
-A one of us has gonna be
-A casualty
-Breathe in Breathe out
Struggling repeatedly without finding a solution
Baby without to fit that over and over again
Continuously attempting despite repeated failures
I stand there to as you call but then I'd fall over and over again
Standing firm, then collapsing repeatedly due to the situation
Don't tell me you love me
(Repeats the same sentiments as lines 8-16)
Then put a gun to my head
-And say I'm not trying, no
-Don't tell me you want me
-Then come to my bed
-And then tell we're not dyin'
-One of us has gonna to be
-A one of us has gonna be
-A casualty
-One of us has gonna to be
(Reiterates the inevitability of someone becoming a casualty)
A one of us has gonna be
-A casualty
