I remember the night
Your eyes went cold and dead.
I killed the woman I was
So I could keep you instead.

When the chips are down
The coward shows his hand,
And the Game of Life
Can not go quite as planned.

Retreat, retreat...
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

I remember the fight -
I begged you not to go,
My loving tears rejected,
Your choice a heavy blow.

When the storm had passed,
The damage still remained,
And the love we'd shared
Forevermore was strained.

Retreat, retreat...
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

I know a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
But you chose our destruction
And I only chose you.

Retreat, retreat...
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

Between you and I
Between you and I
