Blue.Skies.At.War Lyrics

never want to play the games that people play
I am not interested in engaging in social manipulation or deceitful behavior

I never want to hear the things they gotta say
I do not care for or desire to listen to the gossip, lies, or negativity of others

I've found everything I need
I have everything that is necessary for my happiness and fulfillment

I never wanted anymore than I can see
I am content with having only what is tangible or known to me, and do not desire more than that

I only want you to believe
My desire is for you to trust in me and what I am expressing to you

If it's wrong to tell the truth
If speaking what is honest and genuine is considered to be incorrect or inappropriate

Then what am I supposed to do
What alternative or solution is there for me if I am condemned for truthful expression?

When all I want to do is speak my mind (speak my mind)
My primary objective is to be able to express my own thoughts and feelings without judgment or backlash

If it's wrong to do what's right
If partaking in ethical and moral behavior and decision-making is regarded as unacceptable

I'm prepared to testify
I am willing and able to stand up and speak out for what I believe is just and correct

If loving you with all my heart's a crime
If genuinely caring for and being devoted to you is considered to be a punishable offense

Then I'm guilty
Then I admit to and accept accountability for whatever perceived wrongdoing I may have committed

I wanna give you all the things you never had
My wish is to provide for you and present you with experiences and possessions that you have not previously had access to

Don't try to tell me how he treats you isn't bad
I choose to not believe or accept the negative treatment or behavior of others towards you

I need you back in my life
You are an important and necessary part of my life and well-being, and I desire your return

I never wanted just to be the other guy (be the other guy - LEE)
I never intended to be a secondary or inferior option or choice in your life

I never wanted to live a lie
I reject the idea of living or perpetuating falsehoods, deception, or inauthenticity

Girl I followed my heart
My actions and choices have been guided by my sincere emotions and feelings towards you

Followed the truth
I have followed what I believe to be honest and factual in my pursuit of you and in our relationship

Right from the start it led me to you
From the very beginning, my pursuit of truth and pursuit of you have been intertwined and interconnected

Please don't leave me this way
My hope is for you to remain with me and not depart from my life

All I wanna do is speak my mind (All)
Everyone involved desires to express themselves honestly and freely

If it's wrong to do what's right then tell me about this feeling inside (Lee)
If performing what is just and honorable is an issue in society, then how should I manage the internal conflict and turmoil that this contradiction creates?

If loving you with all my hearts a crime (All)
If being deeply devoted and caring towards you is something that society frowns upon

I'm Guilty (Duncan)
I accept responsibility and acknowledge my love for you unapologetically, regardless of any societal disapproval or persecution that may come from it
