This Means War Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Trust, well, that counts for nothing
But hate, well, I guess that's something
Cause when it all breaks down
You'll be running your mouth
My patience coming undone
I can't keep biting my tongue

[Pre-Chorus]
Scream your lungs out
And keep on wasting your breath
I've heard these warnings before
(I guess that this means war)
What's the fallout
Now let the battle commence
I've heard these warnings before
(I guess that this means war)

[Chorus]
It can't be easy to swallow
I keep forcing it down
And you keep throwing it up
Your life now empty and hollow
You keep on twisting the knifе
And I keep ripping it out
[Verse 2]
Bleed, now you wounds are open
And drown, in your empty ocеan
'Cause when the waves come down
They'll be crashing around
I won't be dragging you out
I'll just keep pushing you down

[Pre-Chorus]
Scream your lungs out
You know you'll write up your death
I just don't care anymore
(I guess that this means war)
What's the fallout
On every word that you said
I gave this warning before
(I guess that this means war)

[Chorus]
It can't be easy to swallow
I keep forcing it down
And you keep throwing it up
Your life now empty and hollow
You keep on twisting the knife
And I keep ripping it out
[Chorus]
It can't be easy to swallow
I keep forcing it down
And you keep throwing it up
Your life now empty and hollow
You keep on twisting the knife
And I keep ripping it out
It can't be easy to swallow
I keep forcing it down
And you keep throwing it up
Your life now empty and hollow
You keep on twisting the knife
And I keep ripping it out
And I keep ripping it out

[Outro]
I guess that this means war
I guess that this means war

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
