Lyrics:

An old war is raging inside you
One where everyone will lose
You hoped so badly it would be
Different this time, just this once

Sometimes you wish yourself back to the time
When you still thought this was happiness
But an old war is raging inside you
One where everyone will lose

The band has long stopped playing
The lights are out, the confetti’s been swept away
You’re all out of dancing, you’ve got no feelings left
Everything’s lost, but well played
An old war is raging inside you

An old war is raging inside you
One where everyone will lose
Don’t lose face now, whatever you do
Never mind how chilly our hearts become
The band has long stopped playing
The lights are out, the confetti’s been swept away
I’m all out of dancing, I’ve got no feelings left
Everything’s lost, but well played
An old war is raging inside me

An old war is raging inside us
One where everyone will lose

Even if we’re good fighters
With eagle eyes, but blind in our hearts
A good will, but wanting too much
Bull’s eye into the wrong goal
An old war is raging inside us
One where everyone will lose

And the fight never stopped
Only the heart protested briefly
We’re all out of dancing, we’ve got no feelings left
Everything’s lost, but well played
An old war is raging inside us
