[Verse 1] We turn a small word into a loaded room You close the door, I stare at the afternoon Your coffee goes cold beside the sink I write three answers, then forget what I think [Pre-Chorus] Every point becomes a wall Every silence says it all But underneath the things we say Neither one of us wants to walk away [Chorus] What are we fighting for tonight? A line we crossed, a wrong or right? We keep the score, we lose the years Build our case with borrowed tears If winning means I lose your hand Then I don't want to understand We're holding fire, guarding nothing Tell me, what are we fighting for? [Verse 2] The hallway clock keeps making its small sound Your jacket's still hanging where you left it on the ground I hear your footsteps, count to four Pride says stay quiet, love says open the door [Pre-Chorus] Every promise bends with blame Every apology changes name But underneath the things we hide There's a tired heart on either side [Chorus] What are we fighting for tonight? A line we crossed, a wrong or right? We keep the score, we lose the years Build our case with borrowed tears If winning means I lose your hand Then I don't want to understand We're holding fire, guarding nothing Tell me, what are we fighting for? [Bridge] Put down the words we use like weapons Let the room become a room I would trade a perfect answer For one honest, "I miss you" No more witnesses, no more proof Just me reaching back to you [Final Chorus] What are we fighting for tonight? A line we crossed, a wrong or right? We kept the score, we lost the years Made a kingdom out of fear If winning means I lose your hand Then I don't want to make that stand We're holding fire, guarding nothing Come back, we don't have to fight for nothing [Outro] Leave the door a little open Let the quiet tell the truth I don't need to win this moment I just need to get back to you
