How To Start a War
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 thought we were meant to be
Thought it'd be you and me
Standing together at the end of the world
I guess that's not what you want
Guess that I should just move on
But tell me how am I to move when I can't even breathe?
This not how you make love
This is not what we signed up for
This is not how it's meant to be
This is how you start a war
This is how, this is how-how
This is how, this is how, this is how-how
This is how, this is how, this is how-how
This is how you start a war
How to start a war, how to start a wa-a-ar
How to-how to start a war
How to start a wa-a-ar
You thought I'd abandoned you
Thought that I'd stranded you
But I was right there holding your hand
But I guess you didn't see
Everything that I thought we would be
I guess I never thought that you would ever leave me here all alone
This is not how you make love
This is not what we signed up for
This is not how it's meant to be
This how you start a war
This is how, this is how-how
This is how, this is how, this is how-how
This is how, this is how, this is how-how
This is how you start a war
How to start a war, how to start a wa-a-ar
How to-how to start a war
How to start a wa-a-ar
Bombs are falling, while we're stalling
I'm still trying, why are we fighting?
Words destroyed us, played and toyed us
I still love you, don't you love me too?
This is not how you make love
This is not what we signed up for
This is not how it's meant to be
This how you start a war
This is how, this is how-how
This is how, this is how, this is how-how
This is how, this is how, this is how-how
This is how you start a war
This is not how you make love
This is not what we signed up for
This is not how it's meant to be
This how you start a war
This is how, this is how-how
This is how, this is how, this is how-how
This is how, this is how, this is how-how
This is how you start a war
How to start a war, how to start a wa-a-ar
How to-how to start a war
How to start a wa-a-ar
