Before the War Begins Songtext
von Drenge

As the ripples of our love ring out
In the summer of another drought
I cool my fingers in the kitchen sink
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out

He was sicker than a midnight freak
We hit the bars hard, drinking in the middle of the week
And I would shiver when he stroked my ear
Down to my cheek, down to my cheek


And he could never deliver
What he promised to me
I′ll take what's mine and you take yours
That′s the only way it's gonna be
Whatever you want, whatever you need
It's on me

After that I guess the hate set in
Dirty looks like I′ve been soaked in sin
What′s the liver when you choose to leave?
With your life intact
Before the war begins

Bullet holes in the walls that we call home
And a fire black garden that's overgrown
Bomb shelter rattles with the sound of the rain
Before it washed away, before it washed away
