Fighting A Losing War

Will you write another sad sad song While sitting up at night when you can't sleep? I know it's obnoxious and it's useless To fight a war you're losing Between what could And shouldn't be

This might be your only chance To find out where your paths will lead I know it's obnoxious and it's useless To fight a war you're losing If you're too careful, you'll seem careless And if you call, you'll sound so desperate

But isn't that what you are? Isn't that what we all are?
