"What We Were Fighting For" lyrics

"What We Were Fighting For"

There's a light shining through my windowpane
And it's lighting up an old picture frame
Where dust has started to take place
It's been a month or two since I've heard you say
"I love you"

Been a while since I've seen you grin
How that photo shows you happy back then
Then again, that wasn't long before
I found you on the floor cryin'
"I've had enough of you"

And those tears, they still cover up this floor
But they're mine this time instead of being yours
Come back, my dear, we can work this out, I'm sure
Ain't no reason in leaving what we were fightin' for

Well, it's time I realize my mistakes
How foolish of me to act that way
Caught up in much more than myself
Your love's what oughta do me well
If I could only have you back
One more chance is all I ask

Those tears, they still cover up this floor
But they're mine this time instead of being yours
Come back, my dear, we can work this out, I'm sure
Ain't no reason in leaving what we were fightin' for

And all those years I've spent talkin' to the Lord
To find a light that shines half as bright as yours
Me and my dear
Till death is what we swore
So ain't no reason in leaving what we were fightin' for
Ain't no reason in leaving what we were fightin' for
