Fight You Leaving Me

(album: One More For The Road - 2017)

All these words in my head
But nothing is what I said
I just sigh and watch you leave

I didn't fight or beg you
Simply just react to
All the chances you been given me

But when the last word has been spoken
And the last tear has been cried
When the shots all fade away
And the silence comes to stay
I must be as strong as I can do
I'll fight for you
And I'll fight you leaving me

Right out of the letter
I promised I'd be better
'Cause I'm afraid that you would still believe
I know that I'm a coward
But in these final hours
All I can do is give you some relief

But when the last word has been spoken
And the last tear has been cried
When the shots all fade away
And the silence comes to stay
I must be as strong as I can be
I'll fight for you
And I'll fight you no more

Now you know that desperately
And I know you expect
Me to tell a lie to make things right
When I just want you back
You deserve much more
So I just hope that someday you will understand

With all these words in my head
Nothing is what I said
Oh, yeah

When the last word has been spoken
And the last tear has been cried
When the shots all fade away
And the silence comes to stay
I must be as strong as I can be
I'll fight for you
And I'll fight you leaving me
