lyrics

I refuse to hold on tightly
Because these words will come back to bite me
Is there any real point in fighting?
When we both know just who will win

After all, just everything I've wanted
Enough lies to bury you with
A true friend keeps on fighting
When the fake get up and leave

And we fight for nothing (x3)
In particular

Whisper words so softly
So that we can barely hear
What in the world were you thinking?
What's the tie that holds you here?

And we fight for nothing (x4)

In the end it has no meaning
A stupid kiss, so misleading
And you're the reason I am leaving
You are the reason I am leaving x2

And we fight for nothing
What a surprise
So we fight for nothing
See the truth in the lies x2

La da da da

And she says,
I'm in love with another
He makes me feel like no other
Hard to breathe and then she screams

Guess what! He's in a band
Plays guitar and he sings
Writing all these songs about her
Now she's gone and I'm without her

This guy calls me up
Tells me "he'll hunt me down'
If I ever try to call her
If I ever try to win her back

I heard his song
His dedication to his love
And I know, I can't compete
Because his lies are knee deep

Instead I'll waste away
And never show my face
Last thing she said to me
Is "his love is deep"

Well, his love may be deep
But so are these wounds
So tell me
Should I hate you?

La da da da

La da da da

And we fight for nothing
What a surprise
So we fight for nothing
See the truth in the lies x2

La da da da
