Lose the Battle to Win the War


You gotta lose to win
You gotta lose the battle to win the war

Trying to get along, get more right than wrong
Feeling like you need to press the point
Had enough of this, on the precipice
Hard to step away from fever pitch
Temperature’s rising, cloud the horizon
Seeing red will only bring the blues

You gotta lose the battle to win the war, you gotta lose to win

Lines drawn in the sand are just a demand
That might change around with the wind
Sometimes it pays to back off a little bit
Cut your losses, don’t dig a hole
Temperature’s rising, cloud the horizon
Seeing red will only bring the blues

Step back from the anger, that’s what really matters
Step back from the danger building inside

You gotta lose the battle to win the war

Keep your pride in check you’ll have no regrets
When you’re cool you can come back soon

Step back from the anger, don’t be a volcano
Step back from the danger building inside

You gotta lose the battle to win the war, you gotta lose to win
