Losing the War
Battling Despair: Brandon Rhyder's Emotional Struggle Unveiled
Lyrics
VERSE 1
Start of Verse 1
I sit here surrounded by nothin? but failure
The singer feels surrounded by failure.
My bottle?s empty but I still crave more
Despite having an empty bottle, the desire for more persists.
I hear what you?re saying, not sure that I?m listenin?
The singer hears but isn't fully attentive.
There?s no denying I?m losing the war
Admits to losing a personal battle or struggle.
CHORUS
Start of Chorus
Cause I?m not the man that you married
Acknowledging a change from the person their partner married.
And you can?t turn water to wine
Expresses inability to perform miracles or change.
I want you to be happy so walk out the door
Encouraging the partner to seek happiness elsewhere.
There?s no denying I?m losing the war
Reiterating the acknowledgment of losing the internal battle.
VERSE 2
Start of Verse 2
I wish that I had thought before I had spoken
Regret for speaking without thinking.
My eyes are swollen my mouth is dry
Physical signs of distress - swollen eyes and dry mouth.
I wish that I could tell you I could give it up for you
Desire to change but admitting inability.
But there?s no denying I?m losing the war
Reaffirmation of losing the internal struggle.
CHORUS

VERSE 3
Start of Verse 3
Off in the distance, I?m sure I see an angel
Seeing someone who seems like an angel in the distance.
Her words are broken so are her wings
Noticing the angel's brokenness.
Eyes closed and dancing on top of the bar
Observing reckless behavior despite inner turmoil.
There?s no denying I?m losing the war
Reiterating the acknowledgment of personal defeat.
CHORUS
Start of Chorus
I want you to be happy so walk out the door
Encouraging the partner to seek happiness away from the singer.
There?s no denying I?m losing this war
Final acknowledgment of the singer's personal defeat.
