Cold War

Days like these feel so conflicting
When I see you and wave
You see me and my face
But look the other way
Shyly pacing in your step
As if we both didn't hurt each other

Cause we were
The hardest, the longest
Cold War
And if it ends
It will be cause we
Both forgot
Cause we can't confront it
Or fight for it
Cause we are
The longest Cold War
We are afraid to fight
In a different way
We stay cold
Forever

I write from the smallest opening in my heart
That still loves you
Cause it always will
If ignorance is bliss
I see why you might have it
You're tall
You're roses
A scent and view to behold
And I can't stop thinking about it today

Cause we were
The hardest, the longest
Cold War
And if it ends
It will be cause we
Both forgot
Cause we can't confront it
Or fight for it
Cause we are
The longest Cold War
We are afraid to fight
In a different way
We stay cold
Forever

When the kids look at the legend
They'll wonder why it never ended
Taught that we were death and never would come back for seconds
Each day we get dressed
And never think about the other doing it too
It's distressing
And my mind loves to compare
And I don't even know what you even do
None of these affairs make me feel like you
What can I even do?
It's nothing.
Just cry and feel regret
And call it what it really was
While you wait for a new one

Cause we were
The hardest, the longest
Cold War
And if it ends
It will be cause we
Both forgot
Cause we can't confront it
Or fight for it
Cause we are
The longest Cold War
We are afraid to fight
In a different way
We stay cold
Forever
