Why Are We Sleeping? Songtext

Standing On The Edge
What Are We Fighting For
Outside a starlit night, inside a raging storm
Works of anger fly like so many times before
We′ll fight the battle, baby
Nobody wins the war

I'll say I don′t need you, you'll say you
Don't want me
We′ll sharpen up our lies, really cut each
Other deep
Why do we do it, baby
What are we fighting for


There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin′
For all the pain I'm feelin′
For all the tears you're cryin′
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for

Why don′t you say you're sorry,
Why can't I say i′m wrong
How much more damage can we do
Until we come undone
Why do we do it, baby
What are we fighting for

There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin′
For all the pain I'm feelin′
For all the tears you're cryin′
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for

Girl, aren′t we still in love
That's what we're fighting for
