we're waging wars
with each other
by way of space
and silence

we took an oath
under our breaths
swore we'd forget
there's an undertow
and it keeps on
pulling us in

I see how you are now
and I'm so sorry
I gave you my heart
what's done is done now
we've got to play
the lesser cards

we're starting fires
in each others forts
thoughts like arrows
pierce through the armor

we took an oath
to defend our kingdom
but we broke our crowns
it wasn't supposed
to happen like this
love always wins...

I see how you are now
and I'm so sorry
I gave you my heart
what's done is done now
we've got to play
the lesser cards
