August 29th, 1997 Lyrics

i saved the day today.
not sure what i did, but tell me what they say.
everyone needs something to believe.
everyone needs a reason to be.
we cannot win the fight when we don't know what we're fighting for.
we cannot win by strength of arms, we left them all behind.
what can we say, what can we do. we'll kill ourselves before we know.
it wasn't meant to be this way.
you told me once that you were scared and i wanted to tell you
that everything would be ok, but you know that i could never lie to you
hey you, we're falling out but everyone needs someone to believe
hey you, we're falling out but everyone needs something to believe
we cannot win the fight when we don't know what we're fighting for
we cannot win by strength of arms, we left them all behind
what can we say, what can we do, we'll kill ourselves before we know
just one last thing before you go
leave the lights on as you leave cuz i don't want to sleep alone
