tug of war

we march past by
only silence trickling from our mouths
we got our armours up, soldiers ready
to tear the worlds apart
but every time i see your face
it's a tug of war of trying
to push you away when

all i want is pulling you next to me

and every day you're away from me
i feel like a fool
maybe it's my fault to shove
you far out of the blue
trying to shut my mouth
cause maybe that's the best to do
but slowly days go by and
i'm still thinking about you

and we are both wrong
in this tug of war trying to feel right
a battle to stay apart
hearts sidelined by makeshift weapons
egos are the shields
silences are the swords
it's a fight i'm ready to leave behind
and all i want is you to do the same

and every day you're away from me
i feel like a fool
maybe it's your fault to shove
me far into the blue
trying to shut my mouth
and maybe that's the worst to do
but slowly days go by and
i'm still trying to forget you

this peace might be a little too late
but could we try to mend what we have
i'm ready to let my guard down
but if you think your battle's won
i'll be the first to leave
even if it aches me forevermore

and every day you're away from me
i feel like a fool
maybe it's our fault to shove
both our lives far into the blue
trying to shut our mouths
could we open them up, could we try

slowly the days go by
are you thinking of the same too?
