Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Living a lie in your own mind
Chasing a clock with no time
Bringing a knife to a gunfight
You've already lost
Tryna pretend that it's all right
All while you're hanging on for dear life
The battle was yours, but you've already lost
[PreChorus]
Don't go rocking boats on cold waters
Oh, 'cause peace lies on the shore across the border
While looking for treasure, watch your step
Know where all you have are gifts, there'll be no depth
Oh, ooh
For where all you have is gifts, there'll be no depth
[Chorus]
Every good liar needs a good memory
And every good fighter is his own worst enemy
Oh, those scars that you're trying to hide will someday heal
If you leave it all on the battlefield
[Verse 2]
It's classier to leave before you're asked to
Graduations are sad and happy times
It's best to turn it loose before you have to
Some thoughts land best when parked inside the mind
[PreChorus]
Don't go rocking boats on cold waters
Oh, 'cause peace lies on the shore across the border
While looking for treasure, watch your step
Know if all you have is gifts, there'll be no depth
Oh, ooh
For where all you have is gifts, there'll be no depth
[Chorus]
Every good liar needs a good memory
And every good fighter is his own worst enemy
Oh, those scars that you're trying to hide will someday heal
If you leave it all on the battlefield
[Bridge]
Believe everything that you said to me
Kim, you taught me that greater is he in me
Elijah, go for it all
Talk to me, Kim
It's in your hands
Push forward, you've got it
Push forward, I got it
I remember when we were talking on the phone and you prayed for me
This is your time to do it
Leave it on the battlefield
Sing to the world, make the world smile again
[Outro]
I know what to do
Leave it all on the battlefield
Leave it all on the battlefield
Leave it all on the battlefield
Leave it all on the battlefield
Leave it all on the battlefield
Leave it all on the battlefield
