Winning the War Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You fight just for the sake of it
You know what hurts the most
You might have once been faking it
But now it cuts too close

[Chorus]
Winning the war
And losing every battle
You close the door
On happy ever after

[Verse 2]
We should have stopped it long ago
When there was love still
But we would give in to ego
And never stop until

[Chorus]
Winning the war
And losing every battle
You close the door
On happy ever after

[Chorus]
Winning the war
And losing every battle
You close the door
On happy ever after
[Bridge]
I know, you know
Winning the war is not winning at all
I know, you know
Winning the war is not winning at all
I know, you know
Winning the war is not winning at all
I know, you know
Winning the war is not winning at all

[Outro]
I know, you know
Winning the war is not winning at all
I know, you know
Winning the war is not winning at all
Winning the war (I know, you know)
And losing every battle (Winning the war is not winning at all)
You close the door (I know, you know)
On happy ever after (Winning the war is not winning at all)
(On happy ever after)
Winning the war (I know, you know)
And losing every battle (Winning the war is not winning at all)
You close the door (I know, you know)
On happy ever after (Winning the war is not winning at all)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
