Lyrics:
No more fighting
No more talking shit
Do as I say not as I give up
Not as I’ve failed to live
In the future there will be
A terrible cost
For all that we’ve left undone
Deliver me from everything
I’ve put off
And all that we’ve lost
I will always love you
But I cannot live with you

No more fighting
I’ve nothing left to give
I’ve nothing but atrophy
Did I cross you?
Did I fail to believe
In positive thoughts?
Our romantic second chance is dead
I buried it with the hatchet
Quit your antics
Put them at the foot of the bed
And set it on fire
I will always love you
But I cannot look at you

Hold me closely
Hold me tightly lest I fall....
Hold me closely
Hold me tightly lest I fall....
No, I don’t wanna fight at all
