Lyrics and translation

Original

Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
We rinse and repeat what is eatin' me up inside
Cold of the words all day, and heat of the love all night
We trade nothin' back, but we keep givin' out our time
Everyone in our lives, instead of only you and I
Every day, we feel deflated
Tryna roll with all the changes
Reality of what we've created
We're not fine
I can feel the pressure breakin'
Everything that we've been buildin'
It won't stop until it kills us
Don't lie
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
I guess to want the pleasure, gotta take it with the pain
'Til we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
I guess to want the pleasure, gotta take it with the pain
'Til we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
There's no one above or below, you are all I want
But I feel that it's not enough to just offer you my love
Inches from movin' out and movin' on
This tension and what we've got, but when will the fightin' stop?
Every day we feel deflated
Tryna roll with all the changes
Reality of what we've created
We're not fine
I can feel the pressure breakin' (breakin')
Everything that we've been buildin'
It won't stop until it kills us (kills us)
Don't lie
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
I guess to want the pleasure, gotta take it with the pain
'Til we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
Guess to want the pleasure, gotta take it with the pain
'Til we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
You still hold my flame
Put me in my place, yeah-yeah
Caught in this war game, yeah-yeah
'Til we die
Do we leave or stay? Yeah-yeah
Do we mend or break? Yeah-yeah
Caught in this war game, yeah-yeah
'Til we die
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
I guess to want the pleasure, gotta take it with the pain
'Til we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
Tearing out our hair again, we're stuck inside a war game
Either in love or we're insane
Guess to want the pleasure, gotta take it with the pain
'Til we're done, done, we'll still play the war game
Don't break on us
Don't fall to dust
Don't kill the love
