  • I watch the days rush by me like a river
    I shouldn't wait, but I'm scared to touch the water
    I let the phone ring, why won't you believe me (believe me)
    I wait for silence, takes a lot not to answer

    All I have to say is
    You don't deserve me, you don't deserve me
    I'm finally walking away
    'Cause you don't deserve me, and you're not worthy

    And I won't let you pull me in
    Because I know you're gonna win
    (The war is over) but the war is over (the war is over)
    And I won't fight you anymore
    I've never been so sure
    (The war is over) 'cause the war is over

    I used to let you paint a pretty picture
    You got me caught up with your, you're my girl forever
    So I forgive you, it felt good when you'd hold me
    Yeah you owned me
    Now you wish you had really known me

    All I have to say is you don't deserve me, you don't deserve me
    I'm finally walking away, 'cause you'll only hurt me
    And you're not worthy

    And I won't let you pull me in
    Because I know you're gonna win
    (The war is over) but the war is over (the war is over)
    And I won't fight you anymore
    I've never been so sure
    (The war is over) 'cause the war is over

    This is not my surrender
    I'm not running for cover
    I'm right here, I know you see me
    But your words no longer defeat me
    In the night, when you're lonely
    You remember how much you miss me
    So you call, but I swear
    You can try a million times, you'll get the same answer

    All I have to say is you don't deserve me, you don't deserve me
    I'm finally walking away, 'cause you'll only hurt me
    And you're not worthy

    And I won't let you pull me in
    Because I know you're gonna win
    (The war is over) but the war is over (The war is over)

    The war is over

    The war is over

    The war is over

    The war is over

    The war is over

    The war is over

  • Laura from El Paso, TxI think Kelly Clarkson is one of the most uniquely talented voices to come out of the last decade, but I think she would be even better if she would move away from the songs about relationship angst and move toward making more like "If no one will listen", "Breakaway" and "Because of You". If she does not branch out in her material I fear she will risk becoming predictable. That being said, I love here voice and probably have more of her songs in my Ipod than any other artist.
