Surrender
Sometimes you forget who I am
how I get stubborn beyond all reason
The fight that shouldn�t last a night
stretches through another season
Still you seem to take for granted
that you can always win me back
and the only thing I ever knew I had
is the resolution I now lack
Just the touch of your hand
and enemy becomes defender
I exchange all my battle plans
for a white flag of surrender
It seems to come to you so easy
You always know which words to say
Nevermind that I�m drowning in a tempest
and I�m sure I�ve lost my way
When the whole thing overwhelms me
but I�m sure you�ve crossed the line
Then you tell me that you�re sorry
Now I�m sure the fault is mine
Just one word from your lips
and I feel to weak to render
all the angry things I meant to say
before you led me to surrender
So I stomp my feet and dig in my heels
Because I know this isn�t fair
I used to be so strong and safe
and now you�ve stripped me bare
I�m as sure that you are wrong
as I am sure that I�m right
and though it makes no sense
I�m sure you�ll win the fight
Just one look in your eyes
and all hardness is gone tender
I try to prove that I�m unbeatable
but I�m yearning to surrender
