You’re always on my back
I’m always at your throat
I can’t take it anymore
You know I love you dear
But now it seems so clear
This isn’t what we’re working for
And push has come to shove
And our once kindled love
Has been dragged right through the mud
And every night I hear you crying
I lie awake at night
Because I know that things ain’t right
And I think of all the times we had
Before we used to fight
But this ain’t working
Give it up, give it up
So what are we trying for?
These last few years confirm my fears
That it ain’t gonna work no more
I agree with you
I know every word is true
And although this hurts me deep inside
It’s something I must do
Said I have seen this coming for sometime
I’m not going to argue with you tonight
I don’t know what we’re fighting for
I am pulling out, retreating from this war
I have been waiting
Waiting for the day, waiting for the word
When you come explaining
Telling me that "Hey, this ain’t gonna work"
She said "I love you baby, more than anything
I want a person who makes me a priority
I’m sick of living with someone that I never see
This band, your job, they all will be the death of me
And this ain’t gonna work no more"
It’s love and war.
