[Verse]
I held the rope till my hands went numb
Heartbeat racing to the beat of the drum
You pulled hard but I pulled harder
This tug of love just made us martyrs
[Chorus]
Push and pull it’s a game we play
Every night and every day
Love’s a war and I’m the pawn
Fighting battles till the break of dawn
[Verse 2]
Your words cut deep like a jagged knife
Promises fake in the game of life
I tied my soul to the end of the line
But you let go and left me behind
[Chorus]
Push and pull it’s a game we play
Every night and every day
Love’s a war and I’m the pawn
Fighting battles till the break of dawn
[Bridge]
Shadows dance on the walls of my mind
Echoes of laughter now cruelly unkind
I’m tugging at ghosts that don’t even care
This rope’s a noose that I can’t repair
[Chorus]
Push and pull it’s a game we play
Every night and every day
Love’s a war and I’m the pawn
Fighting battles till the break of dawn
