You Are A War

Remember when i promised you,

I would do nothing to hurt you?

And you said to me,

You would do nothing to hurt me,

But why am i the only one trying,

To stop myself from crying?

I don't know why,

You left without a goodbye,

But what i do know,

Is you are a war worth fighting for,

And until the stars fade to black,

I'm gonna try my best to fall back,

To fall back in love with you,

To fall back in love with you. 

Remember that dark night,

When we stayed up and began to play fight,

And you pulled me close to you,

And whispered in my ear 'i love you',

Now i'm the only one who still means what i say,

Now that you have gone away. 

I don't know why,

You left without a goodbye,

But what i do know,

Is you are a war worth fighting for,

And until the stars fade to black,

I'm gonna try my best to fall back,

To fall back in love with you,

To fall back in love with you.
