Conversations
[Verse 1]
Please, don't leave, just stay some more
I'll make you tea to keep you warm
There's no need to close the door
I don't wanna fight no more

[Chorus]
Why do conversations always end in war?
We both have the same wants
So let's lay down the swords
I don't wanna leave here
Battered and torn
Baby, don't you see?
We don't gotta bleed anymore

[Verse 2]
Use your words like lead and guns
Shoot me down and light the match
All we built now lies in ash
I don't wanna repeat the past

[Chorus]
Why do conversations always end in war?
We both have the same wants
So let's lay down the swords
I don't wanna leave here
Battered and torn
Baby, don't you see?
We don't gotta bleed
[Bridge]
Just stay here with me
Underneath the silence
You don't need to leave
Can't you see I'm trying?
So let's make our peace
And let go of the violence
I'm sorry for all the times when
I left you alone crying
Darling, please don't hold it against me (oh)
Baby, don't you see?
We don't gotta bleed anymore
