I watch the days rush by me like a river I shouldn't wait, but I'm scared to touch the water I let the phone ring, why won't you believe me (believe me) I wait for silence, takes a lot not to answer All I have to say is You don't deserve me, you don't deserve me I'm finally walking away 'Cause you don't deserve me, and you're not worthy And I won't let you pull me in Because I know you're gonna win (The war is over) but the war is over (the war is over) And I won't fight you anymore I've never been so sure (The war is over) 'cause the war is over I used to let you paint a pretty picture You got me caught up with your, you're my girl forever So I forgive you, it felt good when you'd hold me Yeah you owned me Now you wish you had really known me All I have to say is you don't deserve me, you don't deserve me I'm finally walking away, 'cause you'll only hurt me And you're not worthy And I won't let you pull me in Because I know you're gonna win (The war is over) but the war is over (the war is over) And I won't fight you anymore I've never been so sure (The war is over) 'cause the war is over This is not my surrender I'm not running for cover I'm right here, I know you see me But your words no longer defeat me In the night, when you're lonely You remember how much you miss me So you call, but I swear You can try a million times, you'll get the same answer All I have to say is you don't deserve me, you don't deserve me I'm finally walking away, 'cause you'll only hurt me And you're not worthy And I won't let you pull me in Because I know you're gonna win (The war is over) but the war is over (The war is over) The war is over The war is over The war is over The war is over The war is over The war is over The war is over
