Casualties Of War

When I opened my eyes, what did I see?

Falling from the skies in front of me

Not quite but close

As though I've seen a ghost

Was it too much to feel the touch

Of someone that you couldn't love

For someone that comes and goes

So how are you? I'm doing well

I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell

I'm not as strong as you thought I was

When you fall down do you hear the sound

Of broken dreams hitting the ground

Baby, please, we're casualties of war

You lost a fight, I heard it was a good fight

The kind that no one wins, and no one's right

I could've walked away

I should've walked away

You always had a habit of keeping scores

You might have won the battle, but not the war

What goes around comes around

Tenfold

So how are you? I'm doing well

I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell

I'm not as strong as you thought I was

When you fall down do you hear the sound

Of broken dreams hitting the ground

Baby, please, we're casualties of war

I knew it was

A lost cause, I knew it was

Is there any rhyme or reason?

I knew it was

So how are you? I'm doing well

I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell

I'm not as strong as you thought I was

When you fall down, do you hear the sound

Of broken dreams hitting the ground

Baby, please, we're casualties of war

When you fall down do you hear the sound

Of broken dreams hitting the ground

Baby, please, we're casualties of war
