"The Fight" lyrics - FUTURE ISLANDS

FUTURE ISLANDS
"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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
'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

[Outro:]
'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
