Battlefield

This is exactly what I mean, you're not as innocent as you proclaim Even though the truth stares you in the face, you play the injured game Right about now I've had enough if your crocodile tear Right about now I don't actually want you near Why the sudden rush, did you have a revelation Please don't be angry when I deline your invitation You seem to forget I've travelled down that road before Perhaps you didn't see my white flag indicating I've left the war It's a war I couldn't win and probably couldn't be won So ill leave you to your fantasies, nothing more can be done I'm not even sad or bothered, in fact I couldn't give a damn As I'm way too old to be involved in another pathetic sham Say what you like, say its my fault, that records on repeat But I'm being honest to myself and I've finally admitted defeat You strive on, you may even win the war, I'll applaud you if you do But in winning this war make sure all your armies motives are true Too many soldiers fight against when should be fighting together To recruit and sign me up, I doubt that will happen ever I'm a one man army, one man band, that's how I've come to be Because when I needed you, well, you weren't there for me So again here is ny white flag, its waving high in the air For you all to see and know that I really don't care Of what you think of me, as regardless to the truth or lie The neglect you gave me I will carry and remember till I die

"Don't be angry when I deline your invitation", damn. Fierce. Strong message here, once again.
