This War Was Lost to the West

Troubled waters have flooded Troubled waters have flooded Our imaginary bridge I was trying to burn it down Yeah, I was trying to burn it down But your words kept it blowing out I fought with all my heart I did my best But this war was lost To the west She walked twenty miles in the rain Straight up hill in the pouring rain When all she had to do was catch a train Five hundred miles to the east Yeah, I'm laying here thinking You should be here with me I fought with all my heart I did my best But this war was lost To the west To the west To the west Don't ask her about my blood Don't you ask her for my blood Because regret is all that comes up I fought with all my heart I did my best But this war was lost Bleeding, breathing Eyes turned towards the Sun Landmine takes my Hope that help will come I'm holding on Bleeding, breathing Eyes turned towards the Sun I'm holding on Landmine takes my hope that help will come Hold on You made your bed in this shit You made your bed in this shit And now you'll lay yourself in it Oh, my assumptions about you are just fair Take away love and compassion And all of you is still there Oh, Lord I fought with all my heart I did my best But this war was lost, lost To the west To the west To the west
