Lyrics
It's not my fault that you're not here
Don't shift the blame or show your fear
Your pride's been damaged, that's for sure
But that's no case to start a war
I only said I didn't need
You as much as I thought I did
You turned it 'round and used those words
As a source of evil curse

Now you've gone and in your time
You've planned an attack on my front line
The bombs will fly and the ships will sink
But in the midst I can't help think
That I want you, and you want me
So this is all unnecessary
Lay down your arms and call a truce
I've tried and tried but what's the use?

It's up to you
You know what to do
Think of the cost
Before lives are lost

Give up now, forget your hate
Because I fear my life's at stake
You confirm what I've known along
You think you're right and I know you're wrong
I wish you'd listen - I still need you
So hold my hand, don't be a fool
But you continue with the flak
Just drop your knives, show me your white flag

It's up to you
You know what to do
Think of the cost
Before lives are lost
So hold my hand
We'll make a better land
Don't hesitate
Or it will be too late
