about

Some disputes won’t end especially when no one takes the high road.

lyrics

Did I miss the signal?
Did I miss the boat?
Was your message clear?
I don't think so
Why did you stop listening
Or trying, truth be told?
What’s the struggle here
To let this go?

It's hard to see from any angle
When you're way up close
The clues are hidden right under your nose
I never tried to be your angel
I live the path I chose
Did either of us take the higher road? No.

Cuz it's a bone of contention
(Who is right and who is wrong?)
A bone of contention
(Just another point of view)
A bone of contention

They say to keep your options open
Ya never shut the door
I think it's safe to say one can't be sure
A battle waged is never over
No motive is ever pure
So whose surprised when no compromise endures?...Oh.

Cuz it's a bone of contention
(Who is right and who is wrong?)
A bone of contention
(Just another point of view)
A bone of contention

It gets the better of you
It gets the better of me
It's never easy to see.....

It's a bone of contention
(Who is right and who is wrong?)
A bone of contention
(Just another point of view)
A bone of contention
