You are my hurt locker lover

Keep me walking on a wire

Don't know when you'll blow

So I tiptoe through your triggered mind

You fight me, but I'm on your side

Defeated, now retreating

Why you tryna make me your enemy

All you really need is a little peace

I just wanna be your lover

Oh, this is not a competition

So baby why the ammunition

I don't wanna be the last one standing

Choose your battles, babe

Then you'll win the war

Stop digging your own grave

When there's so much to live for

Choose your battles, babe

'Cause I'm not fighting anymore

I'm not fighting anymore

I've tried to pick off your red flags

While dancing on broken glass

Your mind games hit like grenades

We're cursed just like the Kennedys

But you somehow get me on my knees

Defeated, now retreating

Why you tryna make me your enemy

All you really need is a little peace

I just wanna be your lover

Oh, this is not a competition

So baby why the ammunition

I don't wanna be the last one standing

Choose your battles, babe

Then you'll win the war

Stop digging your own grave

When there's so much to live for

Choose your battles, babe

'Cause I'm not fighting anymore

I'm not fighting anymore

If you wanna go, then go

If you wanna stay, then stay

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more, baby

I'm not fighting anymore

If you wanna go, then go

If you wanna stay, then stay

I don't wanna fight no more, anyway

I'm not fighting anymore

Choose your battles, babe

Then you'll win the war

Stop digging your own grave

When there's so much to live for

Choose your battles, babe

'Cause I'm not fighting anymore

I'm not fighting anymore
