Our Battles

Our battles are repetitious
 if not broken poetry
 and maybe that's the attraction
 that you're as self-absorbed as me
 You jumped to the conclusion
 and landed on my chest
 Now how am I supposed to make you see.
 I'll just write this down
 with hopes that you'll understand
 I will no longer be disciplined by
 the frustrations of an insecure man
 And while I kiss your face you'll know that
 I will no longer apologize for
 your former lover's mistakes.
 My past is mine to keep
 Now, who are you to question me...?
 Perhaps someday you'll learn
 Too bad
 it's not our turn
 You jumped to the conclusion
 and landed on my chest
 Now how am I supposed to make you see.
 I'll just write this down
 with hopes that you'll understand
 I will no longer be disciplined by
 the frustrations of an insecure man
 And while I kiss your face you'll know that
 I will no longer apologize for
 your former lover's mistakes.
 You set the standard for my future
 You set the standard for my future (lover)
 You set the standard for my future
 You set the standard for my future (lover)
 You set the standard for my future (lover)
 You set the standard for my future (lover)
 You set the standard for my future (lover)
 I'll just write this down
 with hopes that you'll understand
 I will no longer be disciplined by
 the frustrations of an insecure man
 And as I kiss your face you'll know that
 I will no longer apologize for
 your former lover's mistakes.
