Cold War

VERSE 1

I could do this all day long

Got to show that I am strong

I’ll wait for you to cool down

To minimize the angry sounds

You fought with me and lost

Stop thinking you’re the boss

This cold war is mine to win

Only then can we both grin

CHORUS

A slap to the face

Then I turned away

Escape from this place

For at least a day

Silence rules this domain

As we bottle up this pain

What are we fighting for?

It’s just another cold war

VERSE 2

This could end when you say sorry

We could end our little pity party

My door is open only for the calm

Until then, you’re locked in the hall

Pile bookcases against the door

It’s shelter for the coldest wars

Blast my music to drown you out

Go ahead and try to shout me down

CHORUS

A slap to the face

Then I turned away

Escape from this place

For at least a day

Silence rules this domain

As we bottle up this pain

What are we fighting for?

It’s just another cold war

BRIDGE

Stupid reasons, stupid words

Yet we never seem to learn

Stupid outcome, stupid shame

As we play the blame game

Was it worth it in the end?

Losing yet another friend?

Check your ego at my door

Put an end to this cold war

VERSE 3

Silence is an introvert’s favorite thing

Especially when the heartache stings

I’m still waiting, but I’ll never crack

You’ll be the first to stab me in the back

CHORUS

A slap to the face

Then I turned away

Escape from this place

For at least a day

Silence rules this domain

As we bottle up this pain

What are we fighting for?

It’s just another cold war
