Fight For It

(album: I Hope You Don't Mind Me Writing - 2017)

I've been told that I'm not good enough a million times
I've been trying to kid myself with a million lies
I've been saying I'm so strong when I'm dying inside
I was engineered that way; I've been left behind

You are, you are
More than you will ever know
You are, you are

Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now
You're gonna stand here and fight for it
Don't tell me that you can't and that you're gonna back down
You're gonna stand here and fight for it

I know
It's been cold
In your soul
And you know
That I've been there too
Don't tell me you're gonna run away from it now
I'm gonna stand here and fight with you

I start to unravel cuz I'm battling that darkest storm
But I'm still here and it's clear I've got to win this war
My tongue's been tied and my hand's been forced
Everything seems much better when I'm holding yours

You are, you are
More than you will ever know
You are, you are

Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now
You're gonna stand here and fight for it
Don't tell me that you can't and that you're gonna back down
You're gonna stand here and fight for it

I know
It's been cold
In your soul
And you know
That I've been there too
Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now
I'm gonna stand here and fight with you

Someone said reach for the stars
But I reach for the clouds
So if I fall at least I know I'm back on the ground
I float back up and then I swim back down
Cause I won't sink, no I won't drown

Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now
You're gonna stand here and fight for it
Don't tell me that you can't and that you're gonna back down

Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now
You're gonna stand here and fight for it
Don't tell me that you can't and that you're gonna back down
You're gonna stand here and fight for it

I know
It's been cold
In your soul
And you know
That I've been there too
Don't tell me you're gonna run away from it now
I'm gonna stand here and fight with you
