Our Battles

Maria Mena · Apparently Unaffected [2005]

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 you former lovers mistakes



My past is mine to keep

Now who are you to question me

Perhaps, someday you'll learn to...

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 you former lovers mistakes



You set the standard for my future

You set the standard for my future (lovers)

You set the standard for my future

You set the standard for my future (lovers)

You set the standard for my future (lovers)

You set the standard



I'll just write this down with hopes that you'll understand

I can 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 you former lovers mistakes



I will write this down

Former lover's mistakes
