lyrics

don't know where, I don't know when
don't know how this all began
don't know how this will end
don't know why you seemed surprised
when I bring tears to your eyes
when I said I wanna lay down and die

so I will smoke another cigarette, lock the door
don't you know I'm fighting a war with myself
and I don't know who will win
drink some more and fight the war with myself
and I don't know how to win

don't know who I thought I'd find
when i looked deep in my own eyes
but I thought that mirror had to lie
don't know where i was that night
don't who I was trying to fight
but I was looking for some kind of life

but oh that glowing ember deep in my heart
it wasn't there--no, it wasn't there from the very start
and as a creeping chill reaches my aching bones
I feel a longing for home
