Cage The Elephant - The War Is Over lyrics
[Cage The Elephant - The War Is Over lyrics]
Bruised and broken, shattered
Always on the run safe behind a half-smile
Laying in the shadows i became a rich man
I held the world up with my hands
Inside I was a poor man, still screaming
"I don't understand"
"Why am I always running?" "Why
Am I always hiding?"
"What's the point in living when
Living feels like dying?"
You can build your walls
Love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside
A man made house you can build your walls
Build 'em to the sky
One day you will find love was on both sides
The war is over
I came upon a wise man, he said
"Sit beside me son"
"When I was a young man, I was like you
The Prodigal Son" safe behind a half-smile
Hidin' in the shadows
Tell 'em that it's all right
Tell 'em 'cause you said so
You can build your walls
Love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside
A man made house you can build your walls
Build 'em to the sky
One day you will find love was on both sides
The war is over, love's already won
The war is over, the war is over
The war is over, love's already won
The war is over, the war is over
Time stands still so long i feel so low
I know what follows, what follows
You can build your walls
But love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside
A man made house you can build your walls
Build 'em to the sky
One day you will find love was on both sides
The war is over, love's already won
The war is over, the war is over
The war is over, love's already won
The war is over, the war is over
