Casualties of War

When I open my eyes, what did I see

Falling from the skies in front of me?

Not quite but close, as though I'd seen a ghost

Does it too much to feel the touch

Of someone that you couldn't love?

Or 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 you hear the sound

Of broken dreams hitting the ground?

Baby, please, we're casualties of war

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

The kind where 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 score

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

Oh, oh

I knew it was

I lost the 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

Oh, oh
