"Fighter" lyrics - CHRISTINA PERRI

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?

The closer you get to my heart, I keep watchin' it break
And all of the love I have trusted have just been mistakes
I'm fire and I'm ice, I'm wrong and I'm right, got my fist in the 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
