I Don't Know Why We Are Fighting

We wake up ready for a fight again,

Not fists or flags, just words we throw.

I come armed with half a truth,

You with something I don’t know.

Circling round the same old point,

Like it’s worth the cost of it all.

I don’t know why we are fighting,

Shouting words we can’t undo.

If love’s the thing we’re holding on to,

Then why do we keep coming back to you?

I don’t know why we are fighting,

I can’t read the reason through.

Every look’s a loaded line,

Every sigh a battle cry.

We argue over little things,

And pretend it’s do or die.

I don’t know why we are fighting,

Round and round the same old track.

If love’s the prize we’re meant to win,

Why do we keep circling back?

Maybe it started as something true,

Something worth defending hard.

Now it’s just habit, just momentum,

Just seeing who leaves the deepest mark.

We argue like the world’s a crowd,

Like someone’s keeping score.

But when you turn and walk away,

I forget what I was yelling for.

I don’t know why we are fighting,

All this noise and no one wins.

If love is still what we’re meant to feel,

Why do we keep arguing again?

I don’t know why we are fighting,

Let it be us…

Not the fight at all.
