Fighting

Yeah, I’m just trying to breathe here...

A little space, a little truth

I hate you, but I guess I gotta admit,

You redefined all the pain and hope I ever hid

Saw something in you that I hadn’t felt in years,

Now you’re running, leaving, wiping away my tears

You won’t let me explain, won’t hear what I need to say,

I’m fighting every day just to stay where I’m okay

But my fortress is crumbling, my world’s turning to dust,

All I want is your trust, but you don’t believe in us

I’ve been confessing a thousand times, losing grip of hope,

Feeling helpless, ashamed, trying to pray, but I can’t cope

You know I want you, yet you make excuses, say we got time,

But every second’s a gamble in this fragile life of mine

Life’s a quick flash, I could die any day,

Holding onto dreams when they’re slipping away

I’ve fought to stay myself, strong through all the pain,

But you tear down my tower, like I don’t feel the strain

No chance to write, to tell you what I really feel,

Fighting every moment just to keep it real

You run, you hide, while my heart’s on the line,

Time’s not ours to hold, it’s slipping through the confines

I’ve been confessing a thousand times, losing grip of hope,

Feeling helpless, ashamed, trying to pray, but I can’t cope

You know I want you, yet you make excuses, say we got time,

But every second’s a gamble in this fragile life of mine

Maybe I’m selfish for wanting more,

For believing in what we had before

But I’m tired of waiting in the dark,

Yearning for a spark to restart my heart

So I stand here, hoping somehow you’ll see,

This love’s a battle, but I still believe in we

Time’s not on our side, but I can’t let it go,

Still fighting for us, even if you never know
