It's time to say
Whatever it is you came to say
We need a break
I thinking about to lose my head
Don't wanna play this like you do
I'm not gonna fake it
I'm not gonna make it
Take this weight off my shoulders
I feel like a soldier
Don't wanna fight this war no more
Don't go away
Whatever it is you needed you gave
We need a break
I thinking about to lose my head
Don't wanna play this like you do
I'm not gonna fake it
Don't wanna live my life with you
I'm not gonna make it
Take this weight off my shoulders
I feel like a soldier
Don't wanna fight this war no more
Don't wanna play this like you do
I'm not gonna fake it
Don't wanna live my life with you
I'm not gonna make it
Take this weight off my shoulders
I feel like a soldier
Don't wanna fight this war no more
Take this weight off my shoulders
I feel like a soldier
Don't wanna fight this war no more
