This song was written by Chord Overstreet after the death of his friend and Glee castmate, Cory Monteith. It was performed at The Roxy in Los Angeles in dedication to Monteith.
Runnin’ out
Out of space
Searching for
A new hiding place
Where I can escape
Someone to run to
You leave behind memories
And pictures framed of you
Now it may be hard to sleep at night
But I just close my eyes and wait for your light
There’s a war going on
Hits me deep in my bones
I can self destruct now
From just being alone
Well, it’s another heartache
If you’ve been through it breaking
There’s never a love like before
And you can cry if you want
But it’s not gonna stop this war
What would you say
If I take you back
What would you say
If I forgave you for that
In a moment of weakness
I can see it play out
But you live and lose and love again
I’ll tell you that now
It’s better than the silence of being alone
The risk in the nights you spend sleeping by the phone
There’s a war going on
Hits me deep in my bones
I can self destruct now
From just being alone
Well, it’s another heartache
If you’ve been through it breaking
There’s never a love like before
No, there’s never a love like before
And you can cry if you want
But it’s not gonna stop this war
Gotta keep on living for each day
A moment come, a moment go, and it’s too late
Take this time to live here before it goes away
Make sure you leave never wanting more
And you can cry if you want
But it’s not gonna stop this war
