Casualties Of War

(album: A Joyful Noise - 2012)

When I opened 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
Was it too much to feel the touch
Of someone that you couldn't love
For someone that comes and goes

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

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

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
