Suffocating

How do I always get stuck in the middle
I can't get anyone to understand
Why don't they walk past their pride
And get over it
Don't get me involved
I don't want to be torn in two
I can't take both sides
Between the two of you
I'll sit down
And stand by
But I won't be a participant
In this war
In 10 short years you'll look back
And realize how stupid this was
And regret the day you tried
To get me involved
I can't seem to convince you
That you need to tell your problems to each other
And not dump them all on me
I know you both are pissed off
But if you'd talk you'd finally see
I want to be inside your war
That you call a disagreement
Not mad just pissed
But I don't see any difference
Just shut up and get over it
Don't get me involved
I don't want to be torn in two
I can't take both sides
Between the two of you
I'll sit down
And stand by
But I won't be a participant
In this war
Take a moment
Out of your time
To sit back and realize
This makes no sense
Don't get me involved
I don't want to be torn in two
I can't take both sides
Between the two of you
I'll sit down
And stand by
But I won't be a participant
In this war
It's just like suffocating
