Not My Fight, Not My War

Held her hand in the cold grey dawn

Saw her smile as her world was born

Tiny cries

Tiny hands so small

Thought I had it all but not at all

Not my tears anymore let them fall on her floor

Not my fight not my war I won’t do this anymore

Built a wall with my pain left the key in the drain

Not goodbye, just refrain, never speak to her again

Truth slipped in like a thief in the night

Wasn't my lullaby so i turned out the light

Framed photos now cracked in my mind

Not my blood not my name not my kind

Not my tears anymore let them fall on her floor

Not my fight not my war I won’t do this anymore

Built a wall with my pain left the key drain

No goodbye, just refrain, never speak again

Life’s a lesson carved out of stone

Sometimes you’re meant to stand alone

I’ll wear the scars like my armor of steel

Who knew heartbreak could teach you to heal

She still haunts me in the dark of my dreams

Her lies once ripped me apart at the seams

But I’ve built a fire from her cold grey ash

Im burning yesterday just to light my new path

Not my tears anymore let them fall on her floor

Not my fight not my war I won’t do this anymore

Built a wall with my pain left the key in the drain

No goodbye, just refrain, never speak again
