The eleventh track contemplates the ‘worth’ of a seemingly dead love, which has been turned to a “power struggle” between the two lovers. The doubt and paranoia fuel Grace’s insecurity, but despite their pride, Emma continues to hold on in the belief of their own love.
Verse:
What do you want from me?
Said I’m not what you need
Why aren’t you listening?
You’ve done such harm to me
I’d let you come for me
After you’ve made me feel like nothing
Can’t fight you anymore
Cos my heart is way too sore
Chorus:
It’s like the cold war
Who calls first?
You’re in one piece
Though I’ve done my worst
I’m waiting for you
Trying to pull you down
But the rope ain’t moving to my side
Oh love
I’m done-
Cut me down
It’s like the cold war
Who calls first?
Make me fight cos you know that it hurts
This love is war and nobody’s winning
What the hell are we still fighting for?
Are we still fighting anymore?
(anymore)
The last one standing burns it all
It’s like the cold war
Who calls first?
Break my heart cos you know that it hurts
I-
Feel so foolish, kinda dumb
But I’m still tugging, ask anyone
