[Verse 1]
And so, lost in his thoughts
Of all the ammunition used in the war he's fought
With weapons of words, he can't undo
He tried so hard, just to be cool
But things were said, and promises made
When it comes to emotions it's never a game
But this isn't like anything that's happened before
No, this time, this is something more
[Chorus]
A conquest started, a whole war lost
It seems like nothing, but what's the cost?
To think some rivalry caused a bitter end
And this is how, to lose a friend
[Verse 2]
Anger in the purest form
And hatred sticking into the heart, like a thorn
Or a twisted knife, you can't pull out
No amount of "sorry's" can reverse that now
But things were great, before we started to tear
Now the future's only promise is up in the air
Feelings trailing after like a menacing cloud
Of everything you regret when your mind wasn't sound
[Chorus]
A conquest started, a whole war lost
It seems like nothing, but what's the cost?
To think some rivalry caused a bitter end
And this is how, to lose a friend
[End]
You know if I could, I'd do it all again
I'd never say those terrible things that I said to you
Then I wouldn't be in this mess
Of words spewed in anger, but I must confess
That a conquest was started, but the war was lost
It seems like nothing now, but think of the cost
Now look what's happened, what's met its' end
It's sad to say, such a price to pay, to lose a friend
