LYRICS:
Let me tell you the saddest story
Love lost, left broken and empty
Put my heart in the hands of another
Set a fire to the past and watched me burn
Somehow I guess it's better this way
Looking back, was it all just a mistake?
Thought I could live in the arms of another
But I guess I wasn't enough for her
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about.
But I gave it all away for no return
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn.
I've been putting myself through your hell
Holding on to things that don't even matter now.
You found your place in the arms of another
But now I see it's just the way the earth will turn
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about.
But I gave it all away for no return
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn.
Can't seem to fill the void that lives in my chest.
Thought I was what you need, but I'm just second best.
I'll never give it all away again, I swear
Don't even look for a heart, you'll find there's nothing there
I can't take it back
All the years that we spent together have come to an end
Regret is all I had
Not sure I would if I could do it all over again
I can't take it back
The memories, the pictures, I love you's will wither
Regret is all I had
But this is the last song I'll write about you
Forget my name
Forget my face
It was all just empty space
Deadweight
No longer part of me.

[@cainhorton5440]

"Not sure I would If I could do it all over again." For a man with clinical depression, that line utterly shattered me.

[@oliver_reddy]

I hope you're ok

[@unhinged5203]

"Dead weight. No longer part of me" those last words of the last song on the album really make you realize how much emotion is on this album. It's incredible.

[@hexkaliber6759]

Really happy I wasn't the only person to catch that!

[@logrady98]

"Forget my name, forget my face" hits home

[@drkstrnd]

I think a breakdown is a pretty bad way to end an album if I'm honest... but for such a genricore band it's okay

[@julianskater1996]

what? i dont get it tell me more pls :(

[@yaboi4292]

"but i gave it all away for no return, guess its just another lesson that ill never learn" hit me hardest

[@AustinBlandford316]

"Ew, you listen to metal? So, you just like to hear people scream in your ear?" No, I like to hear the passion and emotion that drives some of these songs straight home. Whether it is hateful, fun, sad, or straight-up insane, I love it all. Wage War right here is the perfect example of all of that.

[@r2blaster797]

Vanilla Ford holy shit I’ve been trying to find a way t describe my love for metal for so long and everyone just thinks I’m crazy so I hope you don mind if I use this

[@maddieee5054]

Legit I get the same question all the time

[@lappo7290]

"Ew, you listen to metal? So, you just like to hear people scream in your ear?" Is what people who enjoy autotune, softporn music videos, stereotypical meanings behind overrated talentless songs would definitely say.

[@ReliaK79]

Cringe comment

[@spencerandrews6676]

You didn’t have to make it cringe brah😂

[@jrellsz]

I never in a million years thought I would cry from a Wage War song. This hits home more than they will probably ever know.

[@silenc9]

John Rella Almost the same tho I didn't cry. But in my head I was there. I am there right now. And this song helps so much

[@wesker877]

John Rella same

[@Riddlebreak]

Sorry to hear man :( hope things get better

[@opethvarium418]

John Rella same. the lyrics and the way they are used with the cleans/screams are fucking perfect.

[@xSubbbZER0x]

This song actually made me shed a few tears and I'm not one to get emotional, but this song really hits me.

[@GermanMiata]

“You found your place in the arms of another” damn😢

[@cferrara_303]

I absolutely love this song. Every emotion from sadness, regret, pain and hate all rolled into one tightly performed package. This song is fan-fucking-tastic.

[@Slaughter95]

Thank you for putting it into words.

[@JoeyCannoli97]

Holy shit this song. The weavings of Cash lyrics into the tragedy that is Johnny Cash. Did not expect this from WW, this is why they are the top band in the scene right now.

[@ItsEvanAndAdam]

this song is ridiculous. I knew wage war would kill it but my god they really KILLED IT

[@chaseevans8238]

aww sweet jonny cash released a new song called wage war.

[@tempchan7419]

😂😂i hate you

[@frankmyers4736]

Take my like goddamn it

[@andrewquick121]

That's illegal

[@tylerjwhitaker89]

I was robbed of a like 😭😭😭😭

[@bendavie7989]

Nah gonna lie I came here lookin for Johnny but I still listened to song so gimme props

[@hudsonthomas7001]

The lyrics that hits me “i want to feel the love you cant live without”

[@drcooley1737]

BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR GOES TO WAGE WAR

[@mike0near]

John Cooley Make Them Suffer ...

[@jakedecker717]

Oceans Ate Alaska and Wage War tie for me

[@jakedecker717]

Oh, and Fit For A King

[@emptysoul2757]

Jake Decker, currents & fit for a king Edit: I think Deathgrip was 2016

[@wiktoriajedrzejewska7287]

Jake Decker Um what about While She Sleeps?

[@TempleOfShay]

I swear they write the best heartbreak songs out there

[@anthonykakarot2376]

You're not wrong...

[@killerzart6662]

agreed

[@TenaciousJoe24]

Don't even look for a heart you'll find there's nothing there. I love/hate how relatable this song is

[@ShawnGaming11]

“But I gave it all away for no return” damn, that really hits me hard. Every time I’ve ever caught feelings for someone and thought they caught feeling for me, I’d love them endlessly and never get any kind of love in return. I could always say stuff like “you’re beautiful” or “you’re so amazing” just cliche compliments like that, or I could even completely pour my heart out for someone and I would never get anything in return. I’ve never gotten a single compliment from any girl I’ve ever been a relationship and thinking about them now, I can tell none of them even wanted to be with me in the first place. Hell, the first girl I was in a relationship with eventually told me that she was only with me because she felt bad that no one liked me, I’ve been fucked up ever since then...

[@ShawnGaming11]

I just typed way too much....

[@MrGabAlej]

Knightgalia bro this 8 months later, but uh... how you holding up? I know this is cliché but, stay strong and keep it together, through quantity you’ll find quality; if it happened for me, it’ll happen for you

[@anthonykakarot2376]

I get it dude...

[@strike17north72]

dude not even joking i relate so much ,sorry a bit late reply ,you're not alone

[@wyatt1019]

i feel you with the last bit- it's never fun to learn that it wasn't real. i never got closure, but i suspect i was in a similar situation

[@popthebutcher7074]

This is the song that really needs a music video off the album.

[@Elyie]

i know i'm about to have this on repeat for weeks

[@roberthilliardjr.6917]

Seems like the more emotional follow up to The River. Love it.

[@BackyardWrestlingFai]

The frothy waves crashing is a perfect backdrop for this song to ahow the passion and emotion

[@supremeshibastrike3215]

Such a perfect song for how I've been feeling lately, I really needed this. It's such a beautiful song for me, just the right amount of heavy and soft. It deserves way more attention

[@peterdinklage2165]

Talk about a play on emotion, this song hit so hard I could hardly breathe. Coming out of a five year relationship with two kids. This helps a lot.. Deadweight, no longer part of me.

[@wutwut4353]

Man, this is the first song in a while that actually made me cry on the first listen. Kudos to you, Wage War. Don't ever stop making music.

[@JoanieTristine]

This song has me feeling, feelings.

[@evanbest8404]

[@drewduncan1131]

This is some fucking righteous content.

[@haziqrana9362]

[@cole1130]

If you’ve ever loved someone and watched them fall out of love with you then this song will hit you hard. I promise. Life goes on.

[@ChandlerDaughtryTTDxEpiphany]

Wage War... thanks for making this beauty of a song. This should help thousands through these powerful lyrics.

[@jameshenderson212]

wage war yo have wrote this album for what's been going on in my life the past weeks. its like a book written for my 15 yr marriage and my last realtionship that has sadly ended badly thanks u have helped me thro this

[@276SportsCards]

This song and Gravity have such a emotional feel to it

[@Jmaydan23]

Such a fantastic song to get through a break up

[@RiChTcOn13]

This album gives me chills. Its so damn good!

[@cky3457]

that second chorus shakes me every time. absolutley breathtaking

[@mawithaxdd]

The vocals and instrumentals in this song are giving me goosebumps. Wow.

[@jesseeminonieminoni7398]

Still to this day my fav song by them

[@johndrax4174]

Possibly one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard... absolutely brilliant!!! This stuff carries big time weight in my heart

[@MiracleLoverx]

I'm so glad that Fearless released all these songs on my birthday. I've been listening to this so much.

[@elizabethrobertson542]

This album is incredible but something about this song is extra beautiful. There's so many different feelings in one song and I can't get enough of it.

[@jindrapekny448]

architects gravedigger chords at the end

[@TearOpenTheSkys]

Jindra Pěkný I heard it too.

[@emptysoul2757]

Nice

[@UrinatingTheCrowd]

this song sounds like the gay version that song

[@bram2437]

Great observation...I hear similarities to that song as well.

[@40hillis40]

Amazing album

[@Filthy5.3]

6 years later this song still hits the heart like the first time I heard it...

[@margaridaalves1664]

this song. can't get tired of it.

[@mattswanson7936]

Those emotional cleans

[@giannistsakirakis7305]

well if architects take them to a tour to open for them this band will be one of the top names of the genre

[@KaibaKaioh]

Architects, While She Sleeps, Wage War, and Bad Omens. That would be a fucking show!

[@RogerRabbitt]

@@KaibaKaioh were gonna get architects, thy art is murder, and while she sleeps. That's a start

[@larristheblackswan3584]

What a spectrum of sound and emotions. Great fucking song!

[@heatherjo989]

Thank You.. for existing

[@joeysaari1556]

I kind of get a reflections/too close to touch vibe from this song

[@ReallyMichaelRicc]

Joey Saari I definitely get the TCTT feel! Dude, a tour with those two would be AMAZING!

[@rico-andreaslepp820]

Joey Saari Architects feels?

[@natebassili2143]

Except that the singer for Too Close To Touch is exceptionally worse in a live setting - my boy Cody is the mothafuckin' man.

[@lighter9611]

Nate Bassili no hes not Idk which live song and recording u heard but okay

[@joeysaari1556]

Nate Bassili by a long shot

[@thalesmoraes3168]

this makes cry, man. awesome music. great melody. congrats, guys.

[@MellRae]

ABSOLUTE FAVORITE FROM THE ALBUM HOLY SHIT❤❤

[@aleccollins4447]

I was today years old when I discovered this, always skipped over it for the actual music video, both are good !

[@PerishableEntity]

Is it normal for this to make me cry? It's become second nature to me. Each day that passes sends the pain seeping deeper and deeper. I've wept literally every day since I left her. When will it get easier.

[@skeletnclique7237]

Oh my gosh this is amazing

[@tilnowfl]

Take some elements from Northlane and Architects and you get this song, so so so good.

[@sirloock8360]

Definitely the best album I've heard in awhile.

[@nicktucci646]

I was going through a shit break up when this record came out when I was upset I listened to this when I was mad I listened to Varials record pain again which came out like a week later then later that year I saw them together thank you both so much those bands got me thru it

[@davidmercer292]

As someone going through a divorce currently, this song hits me in more ways than I knew could be possible. So relatable.

[@AdamArtz]

Made me shed a tear

[@maxwatto7072]

my favourite song of 2017

[@nashvillecash3258]

Johnny Cash would’ve loved this

[@jesush1710]

This song is so good man.. "I want to feel the love you can't live without, the one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about."

[@mdnix]

Great song! Reminds of Architects and Northlane.

[@warrent86]

Thank you for this. This is crazy good, caught these guys back in march but couldnt appreciate it then.

[@sleeplessocean5698]

I wanna feel the love you can't live without The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about.

[@j.j.j6173]

One of my favorite songs by y'all. Keep up the great work. ❤❤

[@andrenolze7006]

Those cleans. 👏🏻 Think this is one of the best releases this years. 2017 is so much better for this kind of music than 2016. 👍🏻

[@willbarnes3382]

staying true to the art is a must and you guys are doing just that....vocals, screams and instruments are so on point

[@caspian4469]

Has an ALL THAT REMAINS feel. Great track !

[@NicoPK]

best song in album.

[@kylejensen9273]

the thing about this song it captures the sadness, anger, and regret of being in a relationship and being cheated. its clearly beautiful.

[@TheRealNewtbox]

putting myself through your hell, damn that hits different....

[@unknowndeoxys00]

Who broke your heart 😞 I just wanna hug him.

Been waiting for this and Oceans Ate Alaska's album and god damn, do they both hit hard as hell.

[@frankshaver2426]

This song makes me cry everytime I hear it because I can relate to this song

[@willbarnes3382]

you guys absolutely killed it one of the best albums of 2017 thank you for the music and I love the music much support and can't wait to see you guys live

[@GrantChallenges]

Love Wage War ❤️ love how this songs focuses on the clear vocals as well 😍

[@julie4dayz378]

What an awesome voice...acoustic and metal version., not to mention the incredible guitars playing.

[@ClaytonScruggs]

I needed this song

[@masonkooistra3854]

Music from life experience and the heart will always remain an emotional mystery to me. Depending where you are in your life you will either get it or you won’t. Never give up, this song proves you are not alone in your emotions.

[@hinder_epoch4440]

Stumbled across this a couple days ago. 16 years of marriage. 16 years of devoting myself to someone that I thought was my everything...all for it to come crashing down...

[@kmaug]

Relate to this song on so many levels

[@meatman4626]

Song gives me chills

[@lexi-op5vk]

I usually listen to old country music, I found this song searching for some Cash’ song I didn’t already know. And here I am, a country fan loving a metal song. I find this so funny lol

[@skipdiner9972]

i urge you to check out more metal then, it's a great genre and this is just the tip to an incredible ice berg.

[@lexi-op5vk]

@Brandon Bryan I did! It’s more similiar to what I usually listen and I honestly appreciated it more than the original version

[@lexi-op5vk]

@@skipdiner9972 any suggestion?

[@skipdiner9972]

@@lexi-op5vk Stuff similar to this I would recommend would be Beartooth, which is my personal favorite metalcore band, Fit For a King and Attack Attack. Those are really good gateway bands. Some other bands I really like that aren't as accessable but are really good would be The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, Architects, Falling in Reverse and Bullet For My Valentine. I really hope you enjoy these, they've become some of my favorite bands.

[@thelittleowl1]

@@lexi-op5vk I would suggest attack attack and killswitch engage if u wanna get into metalcore. We came as Romans and bullet for my Valentine too.

Sound like A Skylit Drive vocally in some parts and it brings back those high school memories. Such a good band.
