DIVIDED WE FALL
​​
Verse 1
There used to be more harmony.
There used to be more calm.
But then one big decision
created so much harm.
​
​
We can't forgive the other,
and both believe we're right.
Compromise as likely
as sunshine through the night.
​
Chorus
There's chaos in the country.
There's chaos in my heart.
I want us to be unified,
but know we'll fall apart.
​​
Verse 2
Others much more vocal
are structuring our course.
They've got their own agenda,
and throw their words with force.
​
​
I wish we could ignore them,
but they won't go away.
The more they feel defeated,
the more they want to play.
​​
Chorus
There's chaos in the country.
There's chaos in my heart.
I want us to be unified,
but know we'll fall apart.
​
Verse 3​
You told me you'd be leaving.
I told you to remain.
We'll never make much progress
when the other is to blame.
​​
We can't forgive the other,
and both believe we're right.
Compromise as likely
as sunshine through the night.
​
​
Chorus
There's chaos in the country.
There's chaos in my heart.
I want us to be unified,
but know we'll fall apart.
