What Are We Fighting For

Tell me what are we fighting for? Because I’m growing weak and weary Tell me what are we fighting for Because my eyes are getting teary… Tell me what are we fighting for…. For the smiles that have begun to fade For the laughs that have turned to cries For all the great memories that we made Now drowned by failed attempts and tries For tender words that captured our hearts Words that now only leave behind scars For bitterness that has pushed us apart Or the memories we made under the stars Can you tell me what are we fighting for Because I am losing sleep Tell me what are we fighting for Because the pain cuts too deep Please tell me what are we fighting for…. Have we forgotten what made us so great? Have we forgotten all that we shared? How could this love ever turn to hate? Please tell me can our hearts be spared? Here we are fighting each other A closeness that we once cherished Is now a weapon to hurt one another A sad tale of a love that will perish What happened to fighting for us? Did the hope for something better get lost To make us wonder what we are fighting for? Tell me what are we fighting for…
