Casualties of War

When I open my eyes, what do I see
Falling from the skies in front of me?
Not quite but close, as though I’d 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 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 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 tenfold
I knew it was
A lost cause, I knew it was
Is there any rhyme or reason?
I knew it was
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we’re casualties of war
