I would march across the desert
To defeat my enemy
And I would lie here in the trenches
With your picture next to me
And when I told you it's forever
Then it's how it's gonna be
Don't won't let him
Just take the place of me no
Does he really know you like I know you
All the little things
Does he really love you like I love you
How can he compete
If he makes me fight for you die for you
Would he do the same
This is turning into way more than a game
Now it feels like soldiers in a war
And none of us are backing down
And I will show you victory is mine
Before we leave this battleground
'Cause he don't wanna leave
And I don't wanna go
And I know just how this battle goes
He don't wanna leave
And I don't wanna fight this kind of war
You know he's not the man you think he is
He's hiding all his flaws
So tell me what's the point of fighting
Because we'll all end up with scars
If that's what I must go through
Then I'm not prepared to lose
'Cause I've already bled so much for you oh
Does he really know you like I know you
All the little things
Does he really love you like I love you
How can he compete
If he makes me fight for you I die for you
Would he do the same
Baby this is turning into way more than a game
Baby 'cause we're soldiers in a war
And none of us are backing down
And I will show you victory is mine
Before we leave this battleground
'Cause he don't wanna leave
And I don't wanna go
And I know just how this battle goes
He don't wanna leave
And I don't wanna fight this kind of war
Getting kind of sick of this battle
Wish I could take it back to when I had you
I'm always thinking that I can have you
Just let him have you
It's getting kinda hard to convince you
After all the shit that we've been through
What, would you let all this happen
You gotta choice to make it stop
It's already going too far
Girl we're soldiers in a war
And none of us are backing down
And I will show you victory is mine
Before we leave this battleground
'Cause he don't wanna leave
And I don't wanna go
And I know just how this battle goes
He don't wanna leave
And I don't wanna fight this kind of war
'Cause he don't wanna leave
And I don't wanna go
And I know just how this battle goes
He don't wanna leave
And I don't wanna fight this kind of war
