What your Fighting for

They say the past is so far gone

So why does it feel so close

When your in a room all alone

Feeling rundown staring at your toes

And yet we stay and bury our heads

When there are dreams we are afraid to live

But with all this nothing, why do we hide

All anyone wants is to do this right

I'm raw, been picked to the bone

I've realized there is nothing to scrape anymore

A completely hollow heart means no scars

At least that’s something to be thankful for

And when its all said and done

Someone throws the knife and sheds some blood

And I think I have found the real way out

It's letting go of the damage that I have done

There is always someone to point the finger at

But when its over your all alone again

So take your complimentary prize and see yourself to the door

But come back when you remember what your fighting for

I think I understand the difference now

I think I know what I've been doing wrong

I think I got the hint this time around

I think I don't really know whats going on

He said he loved me with a sweet sugar smile

So I sat around and bathed in it a while

But when I open my eyes and put my feet on the floor

I realize that’s not what i should be dreaming for

So maybe it was always the empty box

That you were meant to choose all along

Maybe door number two and three

Can wait, cause it's time to finally move on

And when its all said and done

Someone throws the knife and sheds some blood

And I think I have found the real way out

It's letting go of the damage that I have done

There is always someone to point the finger at

But when its over your all alone again

So take your complimentary prize and see yourself to the door

But come back when you remember what your fighting for

Its easy to tell the difference when your not covered in fog

The right way was buried in a wooden log

A fire took all the Forrest away

It's easy to see once you've walked from the haze

There is no significance to a ticking clock

Its just something a man made up

Day or night, the sun or the moon

It only matters what window your looking through

Take my heart bury it down deep

I think its time that she gets some sleep

I will find her when the time comes

But for now her work doesn't need to be done

Tell me teacher what will I learn next

Knowledge is a limit I haven't reached yet

I think its time to spread my wings

The cliche words of a girl that leaves

And when its all said and done

Someone throws the knife and sheds some blood

And I think I have found the real way out

It's letting go of the damage that I have done

There is always someone to point the finger at

But when its over your all alone again

So take your complimentary prize and see yourself to the door

But come back when you remember what your fighting for

There is nothing that hasn't been done

But I think I'll try for another one

Take a train, the next ticket out

Where I go is in God's hands now

And when its all said and done

Someone throws the knife and sheds some blood

And I think I have found the real way out

It's letting go of the damage that I have done

There is always someone to point the finger at

But when its over your all alone again

So take your complimentary prize and see yourself to the door

But come back when you remember what your fighting for
