It's the same blood that's flowing to my head and my heart Each needs the other, each plays its part Each is dead set against what the other one wants Neither one's yielding
And each has its reasons for taking up arms The head cries out, “Treason!” accusing the heart Of baring its breast to love's poison dart I'm declaring my own civil war
It's a swift calculation, and it doesn't add up But hard is the heart that is desperate in love Blind to the world, and deaf to the voice of reason And enslaved is the mind to the will of the heart It rattles its cage, and it heaves at the bars And it screams in its rage through the feathers and tar “Oh, I'm caught in my own civil war”
Divided in two, a house cannot stand If the cornerstone fails, every beam, every rafter Will loosen its grip and fall to the ground That's a given
And I'm caught in the crossfire with nowhere to hide Every tick of the heart, every turn of the mind Is a shot in the dark, is a bullet that flies through the uproar Of my own civil war
There's no end to the lengths I would go for him Either way, whichever one wins A love unrequited, what's to be done with it? ‘Til my heart, bled dry, bleeds no more I'll keep fighting my own civil warTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
