Tell me when should I fight for you
or when to leave you be.
Say if I should hold the sword
Or just hold the shield up.
Tell me. Tell me.
This is a battle we didn't win,
We both bled,
Not together, but by ourselves.
We didn't tend to each others wounds,
We'd have to heal on our own.
Most of all, tell me when to let go.
Because one thing I haven't learned
is when to surrender.
But how would I ever know
what I must do
If you never told me what must be done.
Are you in this fight with me?
Or am I battling alone?
