What Are We Fighting For Tears for Fears

What are we fighting for?
What am I trying to restore by taking aim at you?
It's not that I need the best
I want you to see I long to be successfully repressed

I don't know why we fall

What are we fighting for?
Why do I always ask for more than this day can provide?
When did I lose your trust?
Why do I need to justify this dirty little war?

I don't know why we fall

There was a time when I believed in providence
Where is that confidence now?
I see the world sideways and I'm falling off again
Into our rarely-go-round

What am I waiting for?
Isn't this where we fade to black as you walk out the door
If I'm so damn sure
What are these tears I try to cheerfully ignore?

There was a time when I believed in providence
Where is that confidence now?
I see the world sideways and I'm falling off again
Into our rarely-go-round
