So what am I fighting for? Everything back and more And I'm not gonna let this go I'm ready to settle the score Get ready 'cause this is war There are days that I think I'm crazy Other days nothing seems to faze me There's nothing more and nothing less Just all the fears that I must confess well I'm afraid I believe in nothing No hopes or dreams you could've left me dead Naive and not to mention I'm losing count of all my blessings With all that I've done, it's too late I can't take back all that I have become So all that I'm trying to say I'm looking for a better way Some days it just gets so hard And I don't wanna slip away So what am I fighting for? Everything back and more And I'm not gonna let this go I'm ready to settle the score Get ready 'cause this is war Another day in the right direction I'm okay but I'm left to question How did I get so far behind the rest? Why am I so inclined to forget? All the days that you made me crazy Nowadays you don't even faze me It's all the same and I don't stress none Sick and tired of all this tension With all that I've done, it's too late I can't take back all that I have become So all that I'm trying to say I'm looking for a better way Some days it just gets so hard And I don't wanna slip away So what am I fighting for? Everything back and more And I'm not gonna let this go I'm ready to settle the score Get ready 'cause this is war Get ready 'cause this is war Get ready 'cause this is war All that I'm trying to say I'm looking for a better way Some days it just gets so hard And I don't wanna slip away So what am I fighting for? Everything back and more And I'm not gonna let this go I'm ready to settle the score Get ready 'cause this is war I'm looking for a better way Some days it just gets so hard And I don't wanna slip away Get ready 'cause this is war Everything back and more And I'm not gonna let this go I'm ready to settle the score Get ready 'cause this is war
