"T-Bone" Burnett
The Only Thing Worth Fighting For
[Verse 1]
Waking up is harder
Than it seems
Wandering through these empty rooms of
Dusty books and quiet dreams
Pictures on a mantel
Speak your name
Softly like forgotten tunes just
Outside the sound of pain
[Chorus]
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
With tumbled locks and broken codes?
You cannot take that from me
My small reprieve's your heart of gold
Weren't we like a battlefield
Locked inside a holy war?
Your love and my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
[Verse 2]
Change will come to those who
Have no fear
But I'm not her, you never were
The kind who kept a rule book near
What I said was never
What I meant
And now you've seen my world in flames, my
Shadow songs, my deep regrets
[Chorus]
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
With tumbled locks and broken codes?
You cannot take that from me
My small reprieve's your heart of gold
Weren't we like a battlefield
Locked inside a holy war?
Your love and my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
