  • Tell me the words I've forgotten
    What we were fighting for
    Staring right into the darkness
    Through an empty open door

    Can't put back what's been broken
    Can't change the moment
    We went too far

    We're pulling apart for no reason
    We're pulling a trigger in a useless war
    And if we come back and go into the black
    What are we fighting for?
    What are we fighting for?

    I was supposed to protect you
    No matter what's to come
    Somehow forgot when they told me
    We hurt the ones we loved

    Can't put back what's been broken
    Can't change the moment
    We went too far

    We're pulling apart for no reason
    We're pulling a trigger in a useless war
    And if we come back and go into the black
    What are we fighting for?
    What are we fighting?
    It's just friendly fire
    Fire
    Fire
    Fire

    We're strangers in between the darkness
    Diving underneath
    I'll find you out on the horizon
    We'll never be enemies

    Can't put back what's been broken
    Can't change the moment
    We went too far

    We're pulling apart for no reason
    We're pulling a trigger in a useless war
    And if we come back and go into the black
    What are we fighting for?
    What are we fighting?
    It's just friendly fire
    Fire
    Fire
    Fire

    Fire
    Fire
    Fire
