I had to fight you to love you.
And that's why I lost.
Instead of us fighting the world
You should have held my hand and fought them with me
Every insult
Every dagger
Any excuse
"It won't work because..."
"You guys won't work because..."
We should have fought for our love together.
This whole time, I was fighting you
Trying to prove them wrong
Trying to convince you we belong
But you weren't interested
You didn't care
You care about the stares
And the judgements
Instead of fighting them together
I tried to fight
Your doubts of us
Your insecurities
That's why I lost
How could I not?
When you never gave me a chance?
I fought the world
And I fought you
How could I win?
With the whole world and my love against me?
Now we are broken and shattered
Pieces of us spilled and scattered
Across the world
In different countries
We lie
In bed
Awake in the early hours
Of four a.m.
Wondering what went wrong
Why we're wrong
But I don't think we are
We make sense
And there is light and laughter and love when we're around
But you don't care
You listen to the stares
Of course I lost
How could I win with the whole world and my love against me?
Now we're in pieces on the ground
I wish you would fight to fix this
To call and apologize
To glue us back together
But that's unrealistic
The stuff of the romance dramas that invest too much time in
Wishful thinking
Maybe I'm just holding out hope for the hopeless
