Oh Monday morning waking up still too numb to speak another night just staring at the wall last night's conversation knocked me off my feet I guess today I fall I wish that we could find the words to look the other way be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say and maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before oh what's the use in fighting When you know you've lost the war Walked the streets of New Orleans shirt soaked to my skin through the mess of yesterday's parade a thousand times a day I think of calling you again come to my senses instead and Everytime we walk away we lose a little time pretending to each other now that everything is fine i know whatever lies I use to get myself to sleep I wake up to the promises I know we couldn't keep Say you don't see what's wrong every night lasting oh so long I know, I do you're already gone I wonder should I get up I would but what's the point oh when something's gone it's gone for good maybe I could look away back to where we used to be one more time I wish I could oh never mind the reasons that tore us all apart we've both done things I know we can't defend What's the use in tracing it all back to the start when theres something missing in the end I wish that we could find the words to look the other way be careful of the things we do and everything we say maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before oh what's the use in fighting when you know you've lost the war Say you don't see what's wrong every night lasting oh so long I know I do you're already gone I know you're already gone
