[Verse 1]
You said I could never find a way to ease your mind
But where I go you wind up in the dust
I tried so hard to have you reach another side of me

My shadow for a friend
Still some things are worth fighting for
[Chorus]
So I'm moving on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
[Outro]
