Leave the War With Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fair game, go on and drop your head
Fairness gone and make you lose mine
Losing love all over again
But it's my way 'till the end of time
Less dread when I drop my head
Fear go and let me lose mine
I'm losing love all over again
But it's my way 'till the end of time
[Pre Chorus]
And where do we go?
And I'm leaning towards
Losing my mind with this feeling no more
[Chorus]
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
[Verse 2]
Fair trials, they don't exist my friend
Only a circus in my mind
Judgement's gone and there's no love again
But it's my way 'till the end of time
Fair game, go on and drop your head
Fairness gone and make you lose mine
Losing love all over again
But it's my way 'till the end of time
Less dread when I drop my head
Fear go and let me lose mine
I'm losing love all over again
But it's my way 'till the end of time
[Pre Chorus]
And where do we go?
And I'm leaning towards
Losing my mind with this feeling no more
[Chorus]
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
[Verse 2]
Fair trials, they don't exist my friend
Only a circus in my mind
Judgement's gone and there's no love again
But it's my way 'till the end of time
[Pre Chorus]
Where do we go?
And I'm leaning towards
Losing my mind and I'm feeling no more
[Chorus]
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Where do we go?
And I'm leaning towards
Losing my mind and I'm feeling no more
[Chorus]
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, better leave that war with me
Ooh, better leave that war with me
