This War In My Mind

Intro]

Caught between the shadows and the light,

This war we’re fighting in my mind,

Barely making it through the night.

We’re fighting two different wars,

You with your ghosts, hiding away,

While I’m drowning in these storms,

Bleeding out with words I never say.

Should I keep fighting, should I let go?

Heal these wounds or take the blow?

All I wanted was to hold you close,

But you keep your distance more than most.

This war we’re fighting in my mind — nobody wins,

Just echoes of love beneath our skin.

Thought our love could finally be enough,

Now I’m living with your silence, living with your hurt.

I see the pain behind your eyes,

All the love you still deny,

Gave my heart despite the scars,

While you entertained love in the dark.

Then you came back needing me again,

Just for us to break in the end.

Should I keep fighting, or set you free?

Let broken hearts be what they’ll be.

Thought my love could pull you through,

But healing’s something I can’t do for you.

This war we’re fighting in my mind — nobody wins,

Just echoes of love beneath our skin.

Thought our love could finally be enough,

Now I’m living with your silence, living with your hurt.

Living without you feels colder now,

Carrying truths we never said out loud.

I hoped someday you’d choose my heart,

But sometimes love still falls apart.

Maybe it’s time I find my peace,

Lay down the war and let it leave,

Love was a flame we couldn’t guard,

Now I’m learning how to heal in the dark.
