There are large gaps in my memory
I can recall the day you left me
The radio was playing our song
You left me empty, and all alone
I hit the bottle, drinking on my own
Drinking to forget, the love I’d known
There’s no love here, only emptiness
Nothing here for you, just bitterness
You broke my heart, but it did not die
I’m over you now, and that’s no lie
Pictures of you I threw in the bin
I always hated your dimpled chin
Standing there with that look on your face
Why are you here, infecting my space?
When you left me crying on the floor
You hurt me so much, now there’s the door
Loving you was my only mistake
I was sleeping, now I’m wide awake

War is a conflict, in which we inflict our pain
If you don’t believe me, let me try to explain
War is a conflict, in which we deliver our pain
You know it’s true, so I won’t tell you again
I do not need the Pope of Rome
I do not need a mobile phone
I do not need to hear your truth
I do not need to recapture my youth
I do not need any government institution
I do not need your written constitution
I do not need your version of reality
I do not need your promises of equality
I do not need to believe your lies in war
I do not need to ask what you’re fighting for
I do not need for you to treat me with disdain
I do not need you to got to war in my name again
I do not need to follow your instruction
I do not need to see any more destruction
I do not need to carry a gun or knife
I do not need to take a little child’s life
I only need me and my family
That’s real, not virtual reality
I need some time to do some thinking
I need to start my excessive drinking
