Papa Roach – War Over Me lyrics

[Intro]
War over me!

[Verse 1]
I'm standing on the front lines, I'm fighting for my soul,
I've walked the self-destructive lonely road.
I read the warning signs but I was to blind to see,
I had to feel the pain till I believed.

[Pre-Chorus]
I have a purpose.

[Chorus]
This is war, this is war,
Since the day I was born!
I would die just to live, just to bleed.
(It's a war, it's a war)
I will fight for my life,
Turn my darkness to light,
This is war, it's a war over me.
(War over me)
War over me!
War over me!

[Verse 2]
My petty feeds destruction, my hunger turns to greed,
But nothing ever fills this hole in me.
No peace on the horizon, no peace in anything,
I had to hurt myself till I believed.

[Pre-Chorus]
I have a purpose.

[Chorus]
This is war, this is war,
Since the day I was born!
I would die just to live, just to bleed.
(It's a war, it's a war)
I will fight for my life,
Turn my darkness to light,
This is war, it's a war over me.

[Hook]
I'm caught up in the crossfire, I'm caught up in the pain.
This gift of desperation, is exactly what I need.
I'm falling like an empire, I'm calling out your name,
I'm locked in my own prison, tell me help is on the way.

Tell me help is on the way

[Bridge]
I will fight for my life,
Turn my darkness to light,
This is war, it's a war over me.

[Chorus]
This is war, this is war,
Since the day I was born!
I would die just to live, just to bleed.
(It's a war, it's a war)
I will fight for my life,
Turn my darkness to light,
This is war, it's a war over me.
(War over me)
This is war, its a war over me,
War over me.

[Outro]
I have a purpose.
