fighting a losing war

will you write another sad sad song

while sitting up at night when you can't sleep?

i know it's obnoxious and it's useless

to fight a war you're losing

between what could

and shouldn't be

this might be your only chance

to find out where your paths will lead

i know it's obnoxious and it's useless

to fight a war you're losing

if you're too careful

you'll seem careless

and if you call

you'll sound so desperate

but isn't that what you are?

isn't that what we all are?
