It's never just a war of words   There's always some kind of hidden agenda   All you ever want from me   Is a white flag & a quiet surrender   This could be for ever more   As long as I succumb & suffer in silence   Love is like a battlefield   Where words are soldiers & talk is violence      I'm just doing the best I can   But I'm not your alpha man   I'm doing the best I can   But I'm not your alpha man      All you ever want me to be   Is another dead butterfly to add to your collection   Trapped in the killing jar   Tethered & bound to your idea of perfection
