Our Battles (Live From Pinpop, Holland 2007) - Maria Mena

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

your former lover's mistakes.

My past is mine to keep

Now, who are you to question me...?

Perhaps someday you'll learn

Too bad

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

your former lover's mistakes.

You set the standard for my future

You set the standard for my future (lover)

You set the standard for my future

You set the standard for my future (lover)

You set the standard for my future (lover)

You set the standard for my future (lover)

You set the standard for my future (lover)

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 as I kiss your face you'll know that

I will no longer apologize for

your former lover's mistakes.
