War Lyrics

[Verse 1: Keshi]
Hold on you're letting go, I don't wanna lose you, baby
Feels like you're getting cold, I can't seem to reach you lately
But you turn your blank with every shot you take
And this love that you wanted, you'd put your pride away
Too late, we're bleeding out
I can barely hear your heartbeat
Breaking, we're going down
If I hold you close then maybe
So I try to stay, just for old times' sake
But you waited and waited, so I can feel the pain

[Chorus: Keshi]
Since you wanna go to war
Let's see who hurts the other more
You always got something you wanna prove
And I've got nothing left to lose
Don't know what wе're fighting for
I'm tired of going back and forth
You always got something you want to provе
And I got nothing left to lose

[Verse 2: Keshi]
New walls, strong lines, look at what we've come to lately
Broke glass, spilled wine, caught up in the crossfire baby
Nothing left to say, you can have your way
Babe, is this that you wanted? Then I would've stayed away
Too much, not enough, just to earn a broken heart, and
We ran out of love tryna finish what we started
But you always say just for old times' sake
Just to see if we make it, it never felt the same

[Chorus: Keshi]
Since you wanna go to war
Let's see who hurts the other more
You always got something you wanna prove
And I've got nothing left to lose
Don't know what we're fighting for
I'm tired of going back and forth
You always got something you want to prove
And I got nothing left to lose

Lyric Snapshot

"War" by Keshi delves into the emotional turbulence of a deteriorating relationship. The lyrics capture the themes of pride, miscommunication, and the relentless cycle of conflict that leads to emotional exhaustion. In the song, both partners seem to be trapped in a battle of egos, where proving a point becomes more important than the love they once shared. Keshi’s imagery of broken glass and spilled wine symbolizes the fragility of their connection, while references to "going to war" reflect the intensity of their struggles. The emotional tone is one of frustration and resignation, as the singer acknowledges the futility of trying to save a relationship that has already unraveled. The chorus emphasizes the shift from love to bitterness, as one partner seems to fight for dominance, while the other is left with nothing to lose. Critics may view the song as a powerful reflection of modern relationships where emotional walls and pride often prevent resolution. The minimalist production, combined with Keshi’s delicate vocals, amplifies the sense of heartbreak. Ultimately, "War" portrays the painful realization that sometimes, love simply isn't enough to heal the wounds caused by emotional conflict.
