Little Wars
[william livesay/louis lawent ©2011]
It started out in the classroom
They just wouldn't let it go
She loved his boyish grin
Her laughter soothed his soul
That's how it would begin
When love was in the air
They counted on each other being there
Now it's roommates more than lovers
Separate beds in separate rooms
No more candlelight dinners by the moon
They filed for separation
When life became a bore
Their playful battles turned to little wars
Little wars
Little wars
They decided after college
They would lay their money down
Buy a house and raise some kids
They were feeling safe and sound
Then came the winds of change
That gathered like a storm
There was no use pretending anymore
Now it's roommates more than lovers
Separate beds in separate rooms
No more candlelight dinners by the moon
They filed for separation
When life became a bore
Their playful battles turned to little wars
Little wars
Little wars
Little wars
Little wars, little wars, little wars
Now it's roommates more than lovers
Separate beds in separate rooms
No more candlelight dinners by the moon
They filed for separation
When love became a bore
Their playful battles turned to little wars
Little wars… it seems life got in the way
Little wars… their tears flowed ‘til they drained
Little wars… they both knew they'd never change
Little wars, little wars, little wars
