This  is no ordinary, rational feeling
I  am overtaken  by a panic  and  run, I
have fallen  by the wayside many  times before
and  I have learned  to use this love  as a  weapon
I  am caught  up by the common  as usual
I  have nearly followed  til my spirit  was numb,  I
continue  the  ascent of never-ending
collecting all  but things that matter  the  most.
But  You re not  what I thought  when I saw  you
I  have been running  for  so long and so  far
I  haven t got  what I thought  I would find
To  fill the empty up
But  You re not  what I thought
No  You re not  what I thought
There  is a manner  I have quietly  tucked away
Yet  it is fighting  for a place  at the top,  I
Am  dying to believe  I’m big enough  to try
But  it s a battle  I am  losing alone
But  You’re not  what I thought  when I saw  you
I  have been running  for  so long and so  far
 (...)
Oh,  oh oh, You  re uncovering
What  I was missing  all along
Oh,  oh oh, I m giving  everything
For  the war,  for the war is  won
For  the war  is won
