One Way War

Lift your head up darling, things will be alright
If you close your eyes and dance you'll make it through tonight
I know things haven't gone your way in a while
And you're exhausted from holding crooked smiles
Clueless minds are saying "just be happy" and
"Oh get over it" but they don't understand
Your nerves aren't made of steel
Your walk ain't through the park
The pain you feel is real and you're just coasting through the dark
And it's not easy fighting a one way war
You against yourself, the girl against the girl
And it ain't no fairytale, you don't dream of tragedy
You're fighting a one way war, but where's your shield
On an empty battlefield
The fear of failure knocks you off your feet
But you'll go nowhere when you're stuck down on your knees
Disillusioned overthinking only hurts you babe
I know its hard to hear, but don't let your heart cave
When they say "you need to try some more
Fight through it you're a stronger girl"
You're smart enough to know that they don't have a clue
Your mind keeps spinning its own webs
So your heart just can't agree with your head
Wish you were dreaming how could this be happening to you
And it's not easy fighting a one way war
You against yourself, the girl against the girl
And it ain't no fairytale, you don't dream of tragedy
You're fighting a one way war, but where's your shield
On an empty battlefield
Prepared for the worst conclusions
Done living on excuses
Lied to enough to know the truth is somewhere lost in oblivion
Broken, but nobody sees that
Don't think that it isn't worth it
You feel so alone but you're not and you're one in a million oh
I know
That it's not easy fighting a one way war
'Cause it's me against myself, this girl against this girl
And it ain't no fairytale, I don't dream of tragedy
Fighting a one way war, it's not easy
