Losing Battle

At three o'clock I'm reminiscing
Those happy moments that we've been sharing
Where are they now? Where have they gone?
Why aren't you here? Why aren't you the one?

Too many signs but still we fight
A losing battle we forced to take flight
Where are we now?
We both fall down.

Wounded mind, scarred hearts
We're losing battle yet we call this art
The beauty of betrayal and trust
The push and pull we always fussed.

Too attached to end it all
The losing battle that made us whole
Ironically we've loved it
It made us feel brave because we faked it.

Ah, no we're not in love
The losing battle is all we have
It's just a concept we turn to life
And now it cuts us like a knife.

Come tell me now, it's over
The losing battle we created is over
I'm too tired to turn blind eyes
I just hope you too would realize.

At three o'clock I'm reminiscing
The pain and tears that were always given
When will we ever learn?
This losing battle is not the love we should earn.
