The Only Thing Worth Fighting For (From The HBO Series True Detective)

Waking up is harder than it seems
Wandering through these empty rooms of dusty books and quiet dreams
Pictures on the mantle
speak your name
softly like forgotten tunes
just outside the sound of pain
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
with tumbled locks and broken codes
You cannot take that from me
my small reprieves your heart of gold
Weren't we like a battlefield
locked inside a holy war
You're lovin' my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
Change will come to those who have no fear
But I'm not her, and you never were
the kind who kept a rulebook near
What I said was never, what I meant
And now you've seen my world in flames
my shadow songs my deep regret
Weren't we like a pair of thieves,
with tumbled locks and broken codes
You cannot take that from me,
my small reprieves your heart of gold
Weren't we like a battlefield
locked inside a holy war
You're lovin' my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
