My war
I've been fighting with myself for so long
It's getting harder and harder to hold on
I no longer have what it takes to be strong
It's killing me more every day, knowing that you're gone
I've tried to tell myself I could make it without you
I was lying to myself, so full of pride
Thinking I could live my life alone, though I knew it wasn't true
Now there's nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide
End this war raging in my mind
Take away the pain that's been tearing me apart
Let's leave the past behind
Grab my hand and let's repair our hearts
So here I am, on my knees, surrendering my heart to you
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Tell me it isn't over, tell me we aren't through
Tell me there's still time for us, and more memories
End this war raging in my mind
Take away the pain that's been tearing me apart
Let's leave the past behind
Grab my hand and let's repair our hearts
