In the heat of the battlefield I blamed it all on you
Truth is we were both wrong and I knew it all along.
Let’s lay our weapons down and send up our white flags
Let’s call it quits and lick our wounds.
And let’s try to not hurt each other anymore
Let’s try to not let our conflicts lead to war
Let’s try to resolve our differences with words
And let our words be kind.
I forget what we’re fighting for as anger takes its hold
Didn’t mean to hurt you, you’re just a casualty of war.
And when this is over and silence fills the air
I’ll regret this violence ’cause I know it makes no sense.
And let’s try to not hurt each other anymore
Let’s try to not let our conflicts lead to war
Let’s try to resolve our differences with words
And let our words be kind.
