In "GO 2 WAR," Jessie Reyez fights to keep a love that has already ended. She admits she was called too much and too off, yet she cannot accept that the bruises meant nothing. Apologies go unanswered, and moving on feels hollow because no one else compares. The repeated image of bruises captures the cost of staying, but she still chooses battle over goodbye. The song aches with the refusal to let heartbreak be the final word.
GO 2 WAR Lyrics by Jessie Reyez
You say I’m too much
You say I’m Lucious
You say I’m too off
I just need a tune up
Just let me prove this
I can not lose this
Can’t tell my heart that I got
All these bruises for nothing
Can’t tell my heart that I got
All these bruises for nothing
Tell my heart that I got
All these bruises
I’d rather go to war with ya
Even though I
Apologize
You say it’s too late
You’re stuck on goodbye
I’d rather go to war wittcha
You see me calling
Texting I’m sorry
But you don’t answer
Red button shot me
I tried to move on
My phone it blew up
But since it ain’t ya
I stay curbing losers for nothing
Can’t tell my heart that I got
All these bruises for nothing
Tell my heart that I got
All these bruises
I’d rather go to war with ya
Even though I
Apologize
You say it’s too late
You’re stuck on goodbye
I’d rather go to war wittcha
