If I Could Start the War

If I could start the war, If I could find out how,
I’d come over the border and kill you ... Right now.

I don’t know why I bombed the things I did.
I don’t know why I killed the beings I killed.
Pride’s like a sword it can cut both ways
Bombs are like novas at the end of days.

I didn’t really mean to miss you.
I didn’t wanna see you leave.
I know I made you run, but really...

[Chorus:]
If I could start the war, If I could find out how,
I’d come over the border and kill you ... Right now.
If I could reach your stars, I’d take them all from you,
Then you’d hate me hate me like you loath to do.
If I could start the war...

Your world was shattered, It was torn apart.
Like I just took a sword and drove it deep in your heart.
You dove into that sea, I let you get away
I just lost track of your starship then and there...

Too mad to tell you I was coming
To proud to warn you at all.
You know that I am coming, and Kai...

[Chorus:]

I didn’t really mean to miss you.
I didn’t wanna see you leave.
I know I made you run, but really...

[Chorus:]
