A Little War

I've laid my gun to rest

below my feet

I've forgotten how to fire,

can you hear me?

I've dulled down my tongue,

visited the other side

I'm waving white, mad and sorry

but you don't hear me

All I've given

has changed along the way

All I've told you,

you think I never meant to say

Any love remaining,

I can't share anymore

By the time it gets to you

it's a little war

I hear the calm outside,

knowing we'll never touch

I've laid it down

You should try to wear my love, I have

I'll always have for you

I've kissed you in my mind

kissed you goodbye

All I've given

has changed along the way

All I've told you,

you think I never meant to say

Any love remaining

I won't share anymore

By the time it gets to you

it's a little war

I've laid my gun down

All I said, I know was true

you think I'm clever enough to say

Any love remaining,

I don't share anymore

By the time it gets to you, it's a little war.
