[Verse 1] They told me there was a world to save, A fire spreading day by day. So I stepped into the fight, Believing I could set things right. I fought to keep the innocent safe, I fought to bring the morning back. But every victory left another wound, Another voice that won't come back. [Pre-Chorus] I kept saying, “One more fight.” “One more night, and this will end.” But every step I took toward peace Cost me someone in the end. [Chorus] I FOUGHT FOR PEACE! I FOUGHT FOR YOU! I FOUGHT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT I HAD TO DO! Every battle, Every scar, Every life I couldn't save— Tell me why The road to peace Is lined with so many graves! WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?! WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?! [Verse 2] I thought that strength could stop the pain, That if I stood, no one would fall. So I kept running through the flames, Trying to protect them all. But somewhere in this endless fight, I lost the reason in the noise. I couldn't tell what victory meant When every answer left no choice. [Pre-Chorus] You were the reason I came home. You were the reason I stood tall. I thought that if I kept on fighting, I could keep you safe through it all. But now you're lying in my arms— And I can't save you at all. [Chorus] I FOUGHT FOR PEACE! I FOUGHT FOR YOU! I FOUGHT TO SAVE A WORLD I THOUGHT WE'D BOTH LIVE THROUGH! I GAVE MY STRENGTH! I GAVE MY BLOOD! I KEPT ON FIGHTING BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD TO! So why are you The one I'm losing now?! WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?! WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?! [Bridge] Was I protecting anyone? Or did I just keep fighting Because I didn't know how to stop? How many battles Can I win Before there's nothing left to save? I did my best. I gave my all. I rose again Every time I hit the ground. I thought I knew What I was fighting for— UNTIL I LOST YOU! [Final Chorus] WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?! If every victory Takes something away, If saving tomorrow Means destroying today— WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?! I DON'T WANT ANOTHER VICTORY! I DON'T WANT ANOTHER WAR! I ONLY WANTED TO PROTECT THE ONES I WAS FIGHTING FOR! So tell me— WHAT WAS IT ALL FOR?! WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOOOOR?!
