Lyrics

The Fight

It wasn't all a scream
We packed away the dream
And pocketed the loss
In a world without a little bit of doubt
Are we just the cost?
I couldn't stand the rain, so I ran away
And all I found was snow
Now I'm back on my own
Another winter in a shadow, in shadow
Can I do it alone?
Now I'm back in my cell
Back with myself
Waiting on the phone
But I will, I will keep fighting
I won't fade away
I will face every day
As if it's my last one
And I will keep you safe
Just like our past was
Fight for love every day
The day I went away
From everything I chose
To everything I own
It was the day I lost
It wasn't only you
Or the springing well of youth
But the certainty of love
Now I'm back on my own
Another winter in a shadow
Just me and my shadow
Can I do it alone?
Now I'm back in my cell
Back in my shell
But I'm backing myself
'Cause I will, I will keep fighting
I won't fade away
I will face every day
As if it's the last one
And I will keep you close
Just like our past was
Fight for love every day
'Cause this could be my last one
This could be my last one
It could be my last one
This could be my last one
So I will keep fighting
I will keep fighting
I'll keep on fighting
And I'll fight every day
