Ginny Lee Springs - Retreat Lyrics

Ya thought it was funny said you were leaving me
I know that you're kidding,
But those words cut me deep
When you lean on
The one you dream on
Trying to make bitter words taste sweet
Should I rally the men and head back in town
Gather my things, and turn right around
Count up the casualties, lay down my sword
Hold tight to things that weren't said before
You are the love I never expected to meet
As I gather my things
Head for the door and retreat
All those glances at girls
I never wanted to be
You said that your happy
It feels like a lie to me
It's a constant war with my heart and my head
A battle I fight till everyday's end
Can't tell if I'm happy
Or if it's just pretend
Should I rally the men and head back in town
Gather my things and turn back around
Count up the casualties, lay down my sword
Hold tight to things that weren't said before
You are the love I never expected to meet
As I gather my things
Head for the door and retreat.
I sent out a battle cry
Between myself and I'm
Crying for clarity
I don't wanna fight
Bring dark scars to light
You evade my PTSD
On the frontline where I'm finally seeing everything
When allies become the enemy
Should I rally the men and head back in town
Gather my things and turn right around
Count up the casualties lay down my sword
Should I rally the men and head back in town
Gather my things and turn right around
Count up the casualties, lay down my sword
Hold tight to things that weren't said before
You are the love I never expected to meet
As I gather my things head for the door and retreat
Retreat
Retreat
