Battle
Colbie Caillat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All these years gone by
Now you're askin' me to listen; well, then tell me 'bout everything
No lies; we're losin' time
'Cause this is a battle, and it's your final last call
It was a trial; you made a mistake, we know
But why aren't you sorry, why aren't you sorry, why?
This can be better; you used to be happy; try
You've got them on your side
And they won't change their minds
Now it's over and I'm feelin' like we missed out on everything
I just hope it's worth the fight
'Cause this is a battle, and it's your final last call (Why'd you have to let it go?)
It was a trial; you made a mistake, we know (Can't you see you hurt me so?)
But why aren't you sorry, why aren't you sorry, why?
Things could be better; you could be happy; try
'Cause this is a battle, and it's your final last call
It was a trial; you made a mistake, we know (Can't you see you hurt me so?)
Why aren't you sorry, why aren't you sorry, why?
This can be better; we can be happy; try
'Cause this is a battle
This is a battle
And it's your final last call
'Cause this is a battle
This is a battle
And it's your final last call
This is a battle, and it's your final last call
The lyrics of Colbie Caillat's "Battle" are about a failing relationship that is on the brink of collapse. The singer's partner has made a mistake, but is not willing to take responsibility for their actions. The song is a conversation between the two, with the singer expressing her frustration and sadness over the situation. The phrase "this is a battle" refers to the struggle of trying to hold onto a relationship that seems to be slipping away.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "why aren't you sorry?" which highlights the theme of the song. The singer is pleading with her partner to take responsibility for their actions and to try to salvage the relationship. She believes that they could be happy again if they just put in the effort.
The lyrics are emotive and powerful, and the music does a great job of conveying the feelings of sadness and frustration that the singer is experiencing. The use of acoustic guitar and light percussion creates a mellow, introspective mood that enhances the overall message of the song.

You thought we'd be fine
You believed our relationship could withstand anything
All these years gone by
We've been together for a long time
Now you're askin' me to listen; well, then tell me 'bout everything
You're requesting my attention to hear what you have to say
No lies; we're losin' time
We need to be honest with each other or we are wasting precious time
'Cause this is a battle, and it's your final last call
Our relationship is on the line and you need to make a decision
It was a trial; you made a mistake, we know
You made a mistake in the past, and it's time to fix it
But why aren't you sorry, why aren't you sorry, why?
I need to hear an apology from you to start the healing process
This can be better; you used to be happy; try
We can work to make things better and return to our previous happiness
You've got them on your side
You have support from others
And they won't change their minds
Your supporters won't be swayed, and we are running out of options
Now it's over and I'm feelin' like we missed out on everything
Our chance to be happy is slipping away, and I feel regret
I just hope it's worth the fight
I'm willing to fight for our relationship, but I hope it's not in vain

Você achou que a gente ficaria bem
Todos esses anos que se foram
Agora você me pede para escutar bem
Então, me conte sobre tudo
Sem mentiras, estamos perdendo tempo
Porque isso é uma batalha
E essa é sua última chamada final
Foi um teste, você cometeu um erro, nós sabemos
Mas por que não pede desculpa, por que não pede desculpa, por que?
As coisas podem ser melhores, você ainda pode ser feliz, tente
Você os manteve do seu lado
E eles não mudaram suas idéias
Agora isso acabou
E eu estou sentindo que tivessemos perdido tudo
Só espero que valha a pena a briga
Porque isso é uma batalha
E essa é sua última chamada final
Foi um teste, você cometeu um erro, nós sabemos
Mas por que não pede desculpa, por que não pede desculpa, por que?
As coisas podem ser melhores, você pode ser feliz, tente
Porque isso é uma batalha
E essa é sua última chamada final
Foi um teste, você cometeu um erro, nós sabemos
Mas por que não pede desculpa, por que não pede desculpa, por que?
As coisas podem ser melhores, nós podemos ser felizes, tente
Porque isso é uma batalha, isso é uma batalha
E essa é sua última chamada final [2x]
Porque isso é uma batalha
E essa é sua última chamada final...

The band creates a very good feeling from the song. This live perfomance should be at dvd. I agree about the drummer, he gives great tunes and wonderful drumming. Most of all it's the wonderful voice of Colbie not to mention the excellent appearrance she has!
