Fight for You

(Verse 1)

I used to be the one for you

Your safe place to land, your dream come true

I couldn't get enough, I was such a fool

Thinking I was forever, breaking every rule

 

Now I don't know what I did so wrong

Your love was a river, and I'm just a stone

Slipping further out of reach, into the deep

Losing a love I was promised to keep

 

(Chorus)

And I'm running in the night, chasing a ghost

The part of my heart I miss the most

I've got nothing left to lose since you went away

I'm leaving it all behind, but it's too late to stay

I was running in the night for you

But there was nothing I could do

 

(Verse 2)

I used to be your place to land

Right here, safe, in the palm of my hand

But you were always changing with the tide

Just as we found paradise… you'd run and hide

 

You'd always shut down every conversation

Lost in the silence, my own damnation

I could never really read your mind

Now all our tomorrows are left behind

 

(Chorus)

And I'm running in the night, chasing a ghost

The part of my heart I miss the most

I've got nothing left to lose since you went away

I'm leaving it all behind, but it's too late to stay

I was running in the night for you

But there was nothing I could do

 

(Bridge)

The signs were right in front of me

But I was too blind to see

You were saying "goodbye" with every silent breath

Now all that's left is this quiet death

I love you so much, and I miss you

But I can't fight for someone who's already through

 

(Final Chorus - slower, more broken)

Now I'm standing in the night, alone

My heart's been shattered, my hope is gone

I've got nothing left to lose, you got your way

I'm leaving it all behind in the ashes and the grey

I'm not running anymore...

You closed and locked that door...

 

(Outro)

I used to be the one...

Your getaway dreamer...

I thought we'd last forever...

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh...

(Forever...)

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh...

(Just a ghost now...)
