lyrics

We wouldn’t be fighting like this
If we didn’t believe it all mattered
We wouldn’t be so far from a kiss
Bodies and reputations shattered

Once upon a time all we knew was peace
Somewhere down the line it’ll just be pieces

Love was supposed to bring out
The best of us the best in us
Love would open windows and doors
Love was supposed to win out
Now we know there’s no rest for us
All we’re left with is the best of both wars

We wouldn’t be fighting like this
If we didn’t believe it all mattered
We wouldn’t be so far from a kiss
Bodies and reputations shattered

When it all began love could never cease
Somehow it comes and goes as it pleases

Love was supposed to bring out
The best of us the best in us
Love would open windows and doors
Love was supposed to win out
Now we know there’s no rest for us
All we’re left with is the best of both wars

And someday I’ll be fine
Someday you’re going to be
Something else to someone else
Some other way but until that day
