Allies Or Enemies Lyrics - The Crane Wives

The words I speak are wildfires and weeds 

They spread like some awful damn disease 

I swear I didn't mean what I said 

I swear I didn't mean it 

Now listen close 

You owe me ears for dropping eaves 

Forget it all, you caught me in a moment weak 

And sometimes I just can't help myself 

Sometimes I can't help myself at all 

Are we allies or enemies? 

This will be the death of me 

Remember when 

I could tell you not to smile when you were mad? 

And you would always crack, and we'd both be laughing in the end 

Not you're not so quick to forget 

Are we allies or enemies? 

This will be the death of me, 

This will be the death of me 

All is fair in love and war, 

But I can't fight with you anymore 

This will be the death of me 

What happens now? 

Do we have another go? Do we bow out 

And take our separate roads? 

I'll admit I've had my doubts, 

But I want to be let in, not out. 

But I want to be let in, not out. 

Are we allies or enemies? 

This will be the death of me, 

This will be the death of me 

All is fair in love and war, 

But I can't fight with you anymore 

This will be the death of me 

Are we allies or enemies? 

This will be the death of me
