STRIFE

Walk on thin ice and don't look back
Don't lose your faith if you hear it crack
The bets are placed and odds are stacked
Out of our hands if we stay on track

And through it all I had no doubts because you swore you wouldn't get that way
It wouldn't have to be this way

It's been a while
You've kept your head down
Bed bound
Distressed by how it's changed your profile
Nowadays you can't tell left from right
I can't believe my eyes
A shell of who I once stood before
Can't recognise
Nowadays you can't tell wrong from right

And through it all I had no doubts because
You swore you wouldn't get that way
It wouldn't have to be this way
And through it all I had no doubts because
You swore you didn't feel that way
It'd never have to be this way

Does it have to be this way?
I guess it has to be this way

Am I someone you cannot live without
Oh am I someone you wish that you could be
Am I the one you cannot live without
Oh am I the one you wish that you could be

For your own sake just find a way
Felt my heart breaking seeing you in pain
And for my own sake I had to learn
Learned it the hard way
Nothing's unconditional

Nothing's unconditional

You sabotaged yourself again
Self-pity's all that you have left
And I won't waste my breath

Walk on thin ice and don't look back
Don't lose your faith if you hear it crack
The bets are placed and odds are stacked
Out of our hand if we stay on track

Walk on thin ice and don't look back
Walk on thin ice and don't look back
Walk on thin ice and don't look back

After it all I can see it clearly now
You conditioned me this way
You're a snake that's eaten its own tail
And through it all I promise you this is the last you'll ever hear from me
I'm sorry you're obsessed with me

Sorry you're obsessed with me
