Could We Not Fight?

Do you really wanna go there tonight?
Our heads are still aching from the bright, flickering light
It'd be better to go lay down inside and turn out the light
Peace is in reach
You'd rather fight

What was my crime this time?
Was I too harsh? Too kind?
What did you notice that I did that's got you
So fucking frustrated?
Did I say"love you" without the"I"?
Did I look away?
Did I sigh?
Did you pick up on some tone in my voice?
On some miniscule new cadence?
You know I hate it
When you're this intoxicated
Please, tonight
Could we not fight?

It always comes down to this
I try to subdue your rage with validation and a kiss
But no amount of love can convince
A raging fire
To extinguish

What was my crime this time?
Was I too harsh? Too kind?
Did I look too pretty at the party?
Too dolled up and decorated?
You took me there as a social crutch
But did your friends like me a bit too much?
When they said you did well for yourself with me
I know what you think that indicated
I know you hate it
Makes you feel emasculated
But tonight
Could we not fight?

It takes two to tango, that's what they say
And so I try to walk away
You slam your fist against the door
Gluing my feet there on the floor
How long can this go on?
How long can this go on?
How long can this go on?
How long can this go on?

What was my crime this time?
Was I too harsh? Too kind?
When I finally raised my voice back at you did you
Not anticipate it?
Was I so patient for so long
You never thought I would snap at all?
Did the sudden change in my demeanor
Make you feel manipulated?
Don't you hate it
When the knife becomes serrated?
Oh, tonight
Let's fight
Tonight
Let's fight
