lyrics

We're in this place again, all too familiar
Settling sons and worried daughters, smile and remember

If I use my words as weapons, I'm sleeping along tonight
If I use my words to heal, maybe I could stop this fight

We're in this place again, all too familiar
Settling sons and worried daughters, smile and remember

We spoilt this romance by trying to make it last, it's over and over

My hands tremble, my body aches
With the decision, I'm forced to make
The clocks stop-start wishing release
We find no time, we find no peace
