[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
