[Verse 1: Sienfield Snippet]

Look, I just wanna make you better I think I could save you but I think I'm bipolar I love you then I hate you grew w| this dane though I hate whoever ain't you hate when I can't date you but I also need my space too I made room for this love how foolish of me & every women lookin at you knew that you was lucky so check the verse miss I ain't say I'm perfect but you was low on love what I do reimbursed it & now it hurts to be around or converse with ya & what's worst is befor this I had worst with ya now war missels hand guns & granades the wars & could'ntbreake em or take em apart with a tank & mama told me be careful who you love Gee said just wrap it these bitches actin up & as for us we was differnt though things have gotten difficult tried to be mr perfect intercontienental hol' up, you spend your time with your friends all the time & all that time with your friends put my momentum on decline my minds gone evil you changed with the season you had a new clear heart guess I was Heroshima... so now I need some xanex some remy & some riefer so when this war is over I'm not PTSD'n & I don't wanna leave her but you know what got me wondering I'm scared to lose love but even more scared of love agian

[Chorus:]

Why we gotta argue

Why we gotta fight

I just wanna love you

I wanna make it right

It's like we both forgot what we were fighting for

So tell me why are we at war

Why we gotta argue

Why we gotta fight

I just wanna love you

I wanna make it right (why are we at war)

It's like we both forgot what we were fighting for

So baby why are we at war

[Verse 2: Sienfield Snippet]

Yea, they do (whatever they want whenever they want) & nobody else can stop it I'm catching myself depositing these feelings she withdraw from & I ain't got the guard to tell my gods de la by by so I'm hurtin my effort is apparent she not fertile the anger I've adopted the feelings been aborted so now I press ignore if ever cupid try to call up they call me better not see when everything stop & your love is in hindsite & you see everything is not notice everything it wasn't realizing why it should'ntnever be agian 'cause in the end it's not bout what you put in fuck kissing & huggin they love pushing your buttons new love is so beautiful time just makes it ugly but fuck it I except it no longer will neglect it if a period is late then I would mark it with a question that mean I never trust em' & if you ever love em' know that favorite ex-girlfriends turn into crazy baby mothers. The War

[Chorus:]

Why we gotta argue

Why we gotta fight

I just wanna love you

I wanna make it right

It's like we both forgot what we were fighting for

So tell me why are we at war

Why we gotta argue

Why we gotta fight

I just wanna love you

I wanna make it right (why are we at war)

It's like we both forgot what we were fighting for

So tell me why are we at war

Why we gotta argue

Why we gotta fight

I just wanna love you

I wanna make it right (why are we at war)

It's like we both forgot what we were fighting for

So baby why are we at war

Why are we at war

So baby why at we at war

[Speaking:]

Just another product of the matrix

This maze I'm in amazez me at times

I just wanted to be at peace with you

And if I gotta settle for a piece of you then I gotta say peace to you

With all do respect I do respect you enough to expect

Effort is all I ask

If we gon' last more I gotta ask for more

And if that means I'm askin for too much I'm sure will end up as our last or pass, we bash, we blast, we shoot, we lose, we pass war
