lyrics

Can we carry on this tug of war
If you won’t stop letting go of the rope
It slips to the ground and I stumble and fall
Swallowing dirt as I roll down the slope

I try to stand with the rope at my feet
You mock me as I lose my balance again
Maybe I should accept my defeat
Coming back for more I must be insane

We fought too hard to make it work
Too hard to let it go
But you won’t tell me what you need
And I'm losing all control
Now it seems the more I give
The more you pull away
And every promise we make we break
And I’m running out of words to say
Still we play this game of make-believe
Tell the lies to each other’s eyes
But it’s time we realised
We’re too compromised

Feel the tension reaching breaking point
Suspended in equilibrium
There’s no weakness left to exploit
The fantasy becomes delirium

We fought too hard to make it work
Too hard to let it go
But you won’t tell me what you need
And I'm losing all control
Now it seems the more I give
The more you pull away
And every promise we make we break
And I’m running out of words to say
Still we play this game of make-believe
Tell the lies to each other’s eyes
But it’s time we realised
We’re still compromised

[Instrumental]

We fought so hard to make it work
But I've got to let you go
Cos you can't tell me what you need
So I'm taking back control
I've got nothing left to give
And I need to walk away
Our last promise was make or break
And there's really nothing left to say
I won't play this game of make believe
No more lies to each other's eyes
Cos it's time we realised
We're too compromised
We’re too compromised
We’re too compromised
And it’s time we realised
We’re too compromised
