War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told you the truth about the old me
And now you use confession as the proof
Do what you have to do
Go ahead and act the fool
What if in the end
You want so bad to forgive
So (so tied up)
We've been here before
So (so tied up)
You want something more
Lover, best friend, my worst enemy
You know I won't let you get away
I get you to swerve right outta fast lane
You still got champagne running through your veins
You dare me to step up and challenge you
Neither one of us can stand to lose
Stand to lose
Remember we said it'd be like after the rain
Washes away our sins
They never said that love is a twisted game
And no one ever wins
So (so tied up)
We've been here before
So (so tied up)
You want something more
Lover, best friend, my worst enemy
You know I won't let you get away
So so, so tied up
So, so, so, so tied up
So so, so tied up
So, so, so, so tied up
You threw me a rope
Opposites attract
I'm self absorbed and you're superficial
We round each other up
Being true to yourself could never be enough
(So so, so tied up)
I tried to let go
(So, so, so, so tied up)
We've been here before
Lover, best friend, my worst enemy
You know I won't let you get away
So tied up
So tied up
So tied up
So tied up

You can't cut me loose until you show me
I won't let you go until you prove something to me
I told you the truth about the old me
I confessed to you who I used to be
And now you use confession as the proof
Now you're using my confession as evidence
Do what you have to do
Whatever you need to do, go ahead and do it
Go ahead and act the fool
You can go ahead and make a mistake
What if in the end
What if it turns out
You want so bad to forgive
You really want to forgive
But you cannot forget
But you can't forget what happened
We've been here before
We've been in this situation in the past
You want something more
You want something deeper
Lover, best friend, my worst enemy
We have a complex relationship
You know I won't let you get away
I won't let you leave me
I get you to swerve right outta fast lane
I make you change your ways
You still got champagne running through your veins
You're still intoxicated with this lifestyle
You dare me to step up and challenge you
You challenge me to keep up with you
Neither one of us can stand to lose
We both want to win and not lose
Remember we said it'd be like after the rain
We thought it would be easier after the difficult times
Washes away our sins
That we would forgive each other
They never said that love is a twisted game
Nobody told us love would be so complicated and difficult
And no one ever wins
There is no clear winner in this game
You threw me a rope
You helped me out of a difficult situation
Opposites attract
We are very different people
I'm self absorbed and you're superficial
I only care about myself, and you only care about material things
We round each other up
We bring out the best and worst in each other
Being true to yourself could never be enough
Being honest with yourself is not always sufficient
I tried to let go
I tried to move on

Now you see not the grass is green
Didn't you know that my love was true
Why did you go
You hurt me so
Why did you go
You hurt me so
Didn't you know
I love you so
I got a girl
And I call her so
And you know that I love her so
She went away She broke my heart
Didn't you know
I love you so
Didn't you know
Now you see not the grass is green
And you knew that my love was true
Why did you go You hurt me so
Why did you go That hurt me so
Didn't you know I love you so
I got a girl And I call her so
Cause I know that you love me so
She went away She broke my heart
And broke my heart She went away
Didn't you know
I love you so
I love you so
Didn't you know
My pretty so

My dad sang this song to me every Sunday when I was a little girl. My dad and I danced to this at my wedding. And yes, I played this song at his funeral. I look forward to seeing all of our parents who were connected by this song again in the resurrection. What a welcome that would be! Just listen out for this song!!
