Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Dear Mom and Dad Here's why I can't home I can talk to either one of you just fine When it's either one, alone But the Thanksgiving table Is going to be pulled out bigger If we talk at all One of you will pull the trigger I used to run those battle lines Trying to smooth over what got said Trying to get a medal Trying to get some shrapnel in my head Thought it was my duty To plead and to implore But I caught too much crossfire In your covert war The television talks, fills the air So you don't have to start You claim you territories in the rooms upstairs To keep yourselves apart Holy days they bring us all together After so much left unsaid You taught us well not to kick under the table Kick under your breath instead I used to stand between you Trying to smooth over what got said Trying to get a medal Trying to get some shrapnel in my head Thought it was my duty To plead and to implore But I caught too much crossfire In your covert war Of coarse there was the anger where the love is strong It spilled like gasoline It's crude but its a power we can draw upon If it fuels the right machine I love you and I'd never want to see you bleed When comments cut like steel So to hold your fire I'd block the shot and take the hit for you As if I could not feel I thought they'd passed right through me That I had no scars to hide But now I open up and try to love And I find they're still inside I used to run those battle lines trying to plead and to implore Please won't you hold the cease fire out a little longer Until the next uproar I took it all in childhood But I can't take it no more 'Cause I caught too much crossfire In your covert war.
