Lyrics
War on Peace
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I once shone but now I'm old
Give my secrets up like gold
There's a fire beneath my feet
Lights the longest losing streak
Love don't live here anymore
Don't come knocking on my door
I just can't get peace of mind
There's a piece that I can't find
So what if I run?
Where would I run to?
So what if I run?
Where would I run to?
Days like these you can't kill
Lives like mine you just can't fill
Blow some money, kill some time
Soak myself in blood red wine
There's no fever coming on
Love is leaving, dead and gone
Love don't live here anymore
Don't come knocking on my door
So what if I run?
Where would I run to?
So what if I run?
Where would I run to?
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh (so what if I run?)
Where would I run to?
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
