Casualties Of War

Gossip · A Joyful Noise [2012]

When I open my eyes, what do I see

Falling from the skies in front of me

Not quite but close as though I've seen a ghost.

Is it too much to feel the touch

Of someone that you couldn't love

For someone that comes and goes, oh



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 your hear the sound

Of broken dreams, here in the night

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 have walked away, I should have walked away

You always had a habit of keeping score

You might have won the battle, but not the war

What goes around, comes around... ten fold



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 your hear the sound

Of broken dreams, here in the night

Baby, please, we're casualties of war!



I was caught right in the war

(?)
