Lyrics

Winning the War

[Verse 1]

You fight just for the sake of it

You know what hurts the most

You might have once been faking it

But now it cuts too close

[Chorus]

Winning the war

And losing every battle

You close the door

On happy ever after

[Verse 2]

We should have stopped it long ago

When there was love still

But we would give in to ego

And never stop until

[Chorus]

Winning the war

And losing every battle

You close the door

On happy ever after

[Chorus]

Winning the war

And losing every battle

You close the door

On happy ever after

[Bridge]

I know, you know

Winning the war is not winning at all

I know, you know

Winning the war is not winning at all

I know, you know

Winning the war is not winning at all

I know, you know

Winning the war is not winning at all

[Outro]

I know, you know

Winning the war is not winning at all

I know, you know

Winning the war is not winning at all

Winning the war (I know, you know)

And losing every battle (Winning the war is not winning at all)

You close the door (I know, you know)

On happy ever after (Winning the war is not winning at all)

(On happy ever after)

Winning the war (I know, you know)

And losing every battle (Winning the war is not winning at all)

You close the door (I know, you know)

On happy ever after (Winning the war is not winning at all)
