"Tug of war" in lyrics
Rihanna - Love the Way You Lie (Part II)
Now there’s gravel in our voices
Glass is shattered from the fight
In this tug of war, you’ll always win
Even when I’m right
You're giving up, I'm tired
The tug of war that we're playing
I'm not giving up, I’m trying.. to tell you, to tell you...
Taylor Swift - Long Story Short
No more keepin' score
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
No more tug of war
And my waves meet your shore
It's cool, I'm kidding, what stars, everything is serious.
What can you teach a kid if you don't know much yourself?
You found yourself or you're like in tug of war again, racing.
In a sonorous buffet
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.
I just wanna play my part
Should I make waves or not?
So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on
And I don't wanna seem ungrateful
Christian Hymns & Songs - In The Presence Of Jehovah
In and out of situations,
That tug-of-war at me
All day long I struggle
5 Seconds of Summer - Outer Space / Carry On
So close to the other side, so far from the wonder
I got one foot in the golden life, one foot in the gutter
So sick of the tug of war, it keeps pulling me under
Like you don’t care
Risky like a game of tug-of-war
You burn me up, you shake me up
Still holding onto me like a burning flame
Every inch of my body turns weak and tender
As if begging me not to play tug-of-war with love
Survivors carrying dreams experience the ramifications of life
In this sustained tug-of-war, their eyes may still burn
The price these wounded survivors pay is all their emotions
You turn around only to give me nothing but several "what-if's".
In reality, I might not be able to have an agreement with you.
Regret is always obstinacy that leads to a tug of war.
This pussy from the projects
This pussy so ghetto, this pussy speak ebonics
This pussy snatched back, playin' tug-of-war
Turn a nigga gang-gang, he gon' go to war (Gang, gang)
Grace VanderWaal - I don't like you
And every single thing you say is gonna start a new war
And I'm exhausted from this tug of war of words
And when you said "I don't care for you" it got worse
But with one thing and another
We were trying to outscore each other
In a tug of war
Even if I try to hide my heart
Your poker face that's over (Poker face)
Oh, a provocative tug-of-war
Full of suspense between us
There is no turning back, we are already
In a tug of war, yeah
We pull each other, baby, oh, no
You ain't worthy to speak thoughts of cheap talk
Be smart and stop tryna walk how Gs walk before we spark
Hug the floor while we playin' tug-of-war with your life
Fuck a tour and a mic, I'd rather fuck a whore with a knife
Henry Lau - Real Love Still Exists
Let it go
Burn the rope
You're the only one in this tug of war
Katy Perry - Dance With the Devil
I lost my tug of war today
Took my foot off of the brakes
(The definition of insanity is looping on repeat, and expecting things to change)
But what comes up must hit the ground
