lyrics

Standoff

Here we are, in one of these rants again
I can’t pretend that I can’t hear
You’re so ignorant, I’m indifferent to the words now we’re just blowing out hot air
due to the fact you don’t even feel at all
and I lost the will to even care, we keep saying things that cut too deep
let’s lay it all out on the floor right here
let’s get this clear

This is a stand off a standoff
trying to bite each others heads off, heads off
i’m tired of this stand off this standoff
now who here’s gonna back off? back off!
This is a stand off a standoff
between whats right and what gets you off, who you think you are?
I’m tired of this fight, another sleepless night, that wont solve anything.

All of this and we still wont clean up the act.
Time and time again we’ve broken down.
How much does it mean to be the scene
when you’re heartless to those closest to you.
I wish we would learn to write it off, forget it all.
Not take this personally and wave it off, forgive it all.
I’m done with the petty war already won by the selfish want
to bend for no one but ourselves, hows that working out?


This is a stand off a standoff
trying to bite each others heads off, heads off
i’m tired of this stand off this standoff
now who here’s gonna back off? back off!
This is a stand off a standoff
Cause I’m not strong enough to take fault when I’m wrong.
I have blamed you all along, I put up too many walls
and lashed out when you tore them down.

No matter who’s wrong, wore down for far too long almost lost it all
I don’t care who won.
I am trying at my best, you already know that
I still love you in the end

This is a stand off, the both of us are worse off
It’s eating me inside that my first move is to fight
when you’re everything to me
Yet we still stand off, we stand off.
It’s killing us just to face off
I can’t take it anymore, let’s end this selfish war
and put it all to rest

We are broken and we are flawed
but we’re nothing without love, i need you the most right now
tonight we won’t stand off alone
