Casualties of War by Gossip Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I open my eyes, what did I see?
Falling from the skies in front of me?
Not quite but close, as though I'd seen a ghost
Was it too much to feel the touch
Of someone that you couldn't love?
Of someone that comes and goes?
Ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
So how are you? I'm doing well
I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
[Chorus]
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we're casualties of war
[Verse 2]
You lost the fight, I heard it was a good fight
The kind where no one wins and no one's right
I could've walked away, I should've walked away
You always had a habit of keeping score
You might have won the battle but not the war
What goes around comes around tenfold
[Pre-Chorus]
So how are you? I'm doing well
I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
[Chorus]
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we're casualties of war
[Bridge]
I knew it was
A lost cause, I knew it was
Is there any rhyme or reason?
I knew it was
[Pre-Chorus]
So how are you? I'm doing well
I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
[Chorus]
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we're casualties of war
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we're casualties of war
When I open my eyes, what did I see?
Falling from the skies in front of me?
Not quite but close, as though I'd seen a ghost
Was it too much to feel the touch
Of someone that you couldn't love?
Of someone that comes and goes?
Ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
So how are you? I'm doing well
I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
[Chorus]
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we're casualties of war
[Verse 2]
You lost the fight, I heard it was a good fight
The kind where no one wins and no one's right
I could've walked away, I should've walked away
You always had a habit of keeping score
You might have won the battle but not the war
What goes around comes around tenfold
[Pre-Chorus]
So how are you? I'm doing well
I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
[Chorus]
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we're casualties of war
[Bridge]
I knew it was
A lost cause, I knew it was

I knew it was
[Pre-Chorus]
So how are you? I'm doing well
I'm fighting tears, you couldn't tell
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
[Chorus]
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we're casualties of war
When you fall down do you hear the sound
Of broken dreams hitting the ground?
Baby, please, we're casualties of war
