Lyrics for 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 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 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 my 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
