CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE
If she cared a little less
It would be okay
If she didn't have to hear
Everything they say
But she'll learn to lie
That's the way things go
As the pieces fall apart
And the tensions grow
Caught in the crossfire
As a love went down
She picked up a few hits
And they ricocheted around
They were thinking of themselves
They were getting what they need
She got caught in the crossfire
And the young can bleed
She's trying to grow up
She's trying to find her own heart
Trying not to take sides
As the shouting starts
Trying to get through school
Trying to ignore
And she wonders why she
Can't sleep at night anymore
She got caught in the crossfire
As a love went down
She picked up a few hits
And they ricocheted around
They were thinking of themselves
They were getting what they need
She got caught in the crossfire
And the young can bleed
(What's the matter with her, what's the matter with her
What's the matter with her, what's the matter with her)
There was a time when she could talk to her mother
Now she's running for cover
She can hear them fight
And she don't know what to do
Every shot they take
She can feel it too
While they're cutting the ties
Between husband and wife
She is slashing her wrists
With a kitchen knife
She got caught in the crossfire
As a love went down
She picked up a few hits
And they ricocheted around
They were thinking of themselves
They were getting what they need
She got caught in the crossfire
And the young can bleed
Caught in the crossfire
As a love went down
She picked up a few hits
And they ricocheted around
They were thinking of themselves
They were getting what they need
And she got caught in the crossfire
And the young can bleed
Caught in the crossfire...
