They Say The Mind Is A Battlefield

"Battles"

I used to lay my face to his chest
the beat of his heart matched my own
it was the place I felt safest
the fear in his eyes never once shown

I wasn't thinking how far I could fall
I would've sworn we'd beat all odds
I wasn't thinking of regretting it all
I really thought we'd beat the odds

I used to watch the screen light up
it made my heart skip every time
the sound of his voice used to be enough
but we used up every last line

I wasn't thinking how far I could go
I would've sworn we couldn't lie
I wasn't expecting to stoop so low
I could've sworn I saw you try

I used to say I'd never back down
I used to say I'd always be strong
I never thought I'd be upside down
I never thought I'd be so very wrong
