Here We Are Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sing it for me
I can't erase the stupid things I say
You're better than me
I struggle just to find a better way


[Chorus]
So here we are
Fighting and trying to hide the scars

I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye
The lonely road
The one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye


[Verse 2]
You wouldn't like me
Keep moving on until forever ends
Don't try to fight me
The beauty queen has lost her crown again

[Chorus]
So here we are
Fighting and trying to hide the scars

I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye
The lonely road
The one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye
[Bridge]
So why are you so eager to betray?
Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up
So why are you the one that walks away?
Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up


[Chorus]
So here we are
Fighting and trying to hide the scars

I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye
The lonely road
The one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
