Let us play a game of make-believe;
I'll pretend that I love you,
you'll pretend that you care.
Something wicked this way comes;
lines drawn along with guns,
words crack like the sound of whips.
Suffered down these dark years;
too stubborn to forgive,
too angry to forget.
Arguments, like ICBM's, find their marks;
see how I wound you,
see how you destroy me?

Your apology I accepted at superficial value,
my apology you ignored all the same.
Cast out spiteful glances, hoping for a bite,
all our fingers pointed out to blame.

Let us try something new;
locked and loaded,
this time it's war.
This picture torn so long ago;
how could we've been so happy,
how did it go so wrong?
Breaking up is like Darwinism-in-motion;
in this shouting match,
the first one to cry, loses.
Ready your weapons; ready your words;
it's time to start this contest again,
like a endangered species in a suicide charge.

Your face I've whitewashed from my memories,
my face you've burned out of photos with cigarette butts.
Build your rage up to toss me,
I still have the scars from what it cost me.

You wronged me? I wronged you?
Got it all wrong... who wronged who?
We only agree to disagree,
the truth only a difference of opinion.
