Oh Monday morning waking up
still too numb to speak
another night just staring at the wall
last night's conversation
knocked me off my feet
I guess today I fall
I wish that we could find the words
to look the other way
be careful of the things we do
and watch the things we say
and maybe then we'd get somewhere
we've never been before
oh what's the use of fighting
When you know you've lost the war
Walked the streets of New Orleans
shirt soaked to my skin
through the mess of yesterday's parade
a thousand times a day
I think of calling you again
come to my senses instead
and Everytime we walk away
we lose a little time
pretending to each other now
that everything is fine
i know whatever lies I use
to get myself to sleep
I wake up to the promises
I know we couldn't keep
Say you don't see
what's wrong
every night
lasting oh so long
I know, I do
Already gone OOh
I wonder should I get up
I would but what's the point
oh when something's gone
it's gone for good
maybe I could look away
back to where we used to be
one more time
I wish I could
oh never mind the reasons
tore us all apart
we've both done things
I know we can't defend
What's the use in tracing
it all back to the start
something's missing in the end
I wish that we could find
the words to look the other way
be careful of the things we do
and everything we say
maybe then we'd get somewhere
we've never been before
oh what's the use in fighting
when you know you've lost the war
Say you don't see
what's wrong
every night
lasting oh so long
I know,I do
Already gone
Oh I know, I do
Already gone
OOOOh
