i always get burned
when I lay hands on you
yer always heated
you would rip me in two
i get so angry
missing your touch
my mistress more distress
that you don�t miss me that much

i�m just a soldier
an arm�s length from you
i ain�t no saviour
i was just passing through
you changed direction
who�s at the wheel?
you want what you don�t get
but don�t get what you feel

what is this war we live
under the covers?
were we not friends?
we were once known as lovers
now the time we spend
bitter and cold
will fuel us when we�re old,
it�s our bitter reward

i always get handed
my pride on a silver platter
full course meal
of mindless chitter chatter
i know the message
you are trying to get across
the words won�t come out
i am at a loss

i�m just tooth and nail
wait
i didn�t mean 
to treat you that way
let�s settle down on the seas
secure the fort
pull up the anchor
north to port

what is this war we live
under the covers?
were we not friends?
we were once the best lovers
now�s not the time to spend
arguing �til the end
put down your sword
take this bitter reward
