​fighter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Always the fighter but I think I'm fighting alone
I can't keep crying, my fate isn't lying, it's just colder
And I fear the loneliest parts of my heart are afraid
Being the worst and the best in my head, I just can't think straight

[Chorus]
I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won't back down
Born from a fighter
I know I fight when I need to feel loved
Strong like a fighter
What if my love is just not strong enough?

[Verse 2]
The closer you get to my heart, I keep watchin' it break
And all of the love I have trusted havе just been mistakes
I'm fire and I'm ice, I'm wrong and I'm right, got my fist in thе air
And it just shows you I care
Is that okay if you can't save me?

[Chorus]
'Cause I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won't back down
Born from a fighter
I know I fight when I need to feel loved
Strong like a fighter
What if my love is just not strong enough?
[Post-Chorus]
I know the battle's inside me
It's against me and not you
Darlin' I know that you're trying
But it's something I need to do

[Chorus]
I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won't back down
Born from a fighter
I know I fight when I need to feel loved
Strong like a fighter
What if my love is just not strong enough?

[Post-Chorus]
I know the battle's inside me
It's against me and not you
Darlin' I know that you're trying
But it's something I need to do

[Outro]
I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won't back down

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
