When my patience has stormed out the door
When my confidence is up against the wall
When my nails are all bitten down and not one second before
That's when you call, that's when you call
When my head hurts all the way to every strain of my hair
When your absence hangs like a threat in the air
When it seems so clear that you really don't care
Suddenly you call, suddenly you call
What are my weapons? I can't compete
When all I get points for is to smile and be sweet
My iron gate closes but you never notice
This war in my mind, love is cruel to the sensitive kind
When the moment has gone tired and cold
When the silence is out of control
When I've said the stupidest things to try and fill this bottomless hole
Finally you speak, finally you speak
What are my weapons? I can't compete
When all I get points for is to smile and be sweet
My iron gate closes but you never notice
This war in my mind, love is cruel to the sensitive kind
What are my weapons? I can't compete
When all I get points for is to smile and be sweet
My iron gate closes, you don't even notice
There's a war in my mind, love is cruel to the sensitive kind
