Art Of War

(album: The Awakening - 2016)

We fell from grace and trust me I know it was hard
But it didn't matter cause we were together
The road got rough and somehow it drove us apart
Now I'm confused cause you said forever
But then you left and you took the best of me

Evil preys on the broken hearted
We try to pick it back up before we self-destruct but it will
Never be the same again
I know just what we started
Coming to grips with the fact that if I take you back it will
Never be the same again

We all try to keep it cool but in due time we all fall
Visions of a small spark, Victims of an onslaught
Cause sparks will fly when hearts collide
It starts inside, builds up and halts your pride
Now you're feeling like one in a million just like it was written in stars, but hold up
Brace yourself homie here comes the scars
Bad decisions are rarely forgiven whenever there's feelings involved
So hold up once again cause those feelings evolve
Because I loved you way more than I loved myself
I know we fell on hard times but why must we fail
My love is strong yours must be frail
Without happily ever after, stories suck to tell
This isn't heaven so it must be

Evil preys on the broken hearted
We try to pick it back up before we self-destruct but it will
Never be the same again
I know just what we started
Coming to grips with the fact that if I take you back it will
Never be the same again

They told me love was a battlefield I guess this is the art of war
Cloaks, shields, ammunition, more than what I bargained for
Cause now you're gone and I start to mourn
And then you say you want me back, and I believe you but my heart is torn
Now stop and listen you forgot the mission, not to mention
Left me defenseless in the trenches without a pot to piss in
Cause I was injured and you made your decision
And that left me with the intelligence your heart wasn't in it
You've had a change of heart and that's terrific, you asked me what's the difference
Easy, when I said I loved you I fucking meant it
When you walked out and closed the door did you find what you were looking for
Did he treat you better, did he love you more
Did he fulfill all your fantasies?
You want to talk let's talk was he more of a man than me?
You're here with me so I didn't think so
But yo you gotta go

Evil preys on the broken hearted
We try to pick it back up before we self-destruct but it will
Never be the same again
I know just what we started
Coming to grips with the fact that if I take you back it will
Never be the same again
