We Fight Back

[Verse 1]

All that we were after was an escape

To revel in the things that made us who we are

And oh, the way you shattered and swept away

The bigger piece of happiness we'd found

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause if this is war, you're the one to our thousand

We won't let you outlive your threats and offences

These are the things we love and would die to defend

Time and time again

[Chorus]

(We fight back )

We fight back with a passion

(We fight back)

That is greater than hatred

(We fight back)

And the coldhearted can't win

(We fight back)

We're the young and elated

[Verse 2]

It always starts the same, and always ends in blame

It leaves a sour taste that often lasts for days

But the simple fact is, reducing matters to misery, you've got more practice than I have

We can fight and scrap until the both of us take a last and losing gasp

So with my fingernails I'll scratch, surface the consolation that

You're just a bitter broken man; I'll get the last laugh

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause if this is war, you're the one to our thousand

We won't let you outlive your threats and offences

These are the things we love and would die to defend

Time and time again

[Chorus]

(We fight back )

We fight back with a passion

(We fight back)

That is greater than hatred

(We fight back)

And the coldhearted can't win

(We fight back)

We're the young and elated

We fight back with a passion

That is greater than hatred

And the coldhearted can't win

We're the young and elated

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause if this is war, you're the one to our thousand

We won't let you outlive your threats and offences

These are the things we love and would die to defend

Time and time again

[Chorus]

(We fight back )

We fight back with a passion

(We fight back)

That is greater than hatred

(We fight back)

And the coldhearted can't win

(We fight back)

We're the young and elated
