Lyrics for Song: Fight Outta You
Lyrics for Album: Lifeline [2008]
They'll look you in the eyes and stone you,
Then turn and disown you,
Don't you let them take the fight outta you,
They'll walk all over your name 'til they find someone else to blame,
Don't let them take the fight outta you,
Secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis,
Don't let them take the fight outta you
They put the world on a hook, it's worse every time I look
Don't let them take the fight outta you
I would rather take a punch than not give you a shot
I'd rather find out who you are than who you're not
Should have known better than to mistake business for love
Should have known better than to mistake a fist for a glove
It will be in your honor 'til you're not needed any longer,
Don't let them take the fight outta you,
Don't believe the headlines, check it for yourself sometimes,
Don't let them take the fight outta you,
The lies you live become you, the love you lose it numbs you,
Don't let them take the fight outta you,
They say that you've arrived but that's just a high-class bribe,
Don't let them take the fight outta you
There's always someone younger, someone with more hunger,
Don't let them take the fight outta you,
They'll say you're the one and only then straight up leave you lonely,
Don't let them take the fight outta you,
Like a transplant-patient waiting for a donor,
Don't let them take the fight outta you,
Like a half empty balloon after a party in the corner,
Don't let them take the fight outta you
