Fighter

[Verse 1] I walked through the hall with my hands in my pockets Like I had no fear, like I had it all locked in But your name still cuts through the smoke in my head Like a knife I forgot was there I’ve been trying to act like I’m stronger than this But the truth is a wound I can’t hide with a grin Every door that I shut still lets you creep in And I hate that you still get to win [Pre-Chorus] It burns, it really burns my heart when I see your name Feels like everything I touched went up in flame I keep saying I’m fine, but that’s not true There’s a war in my chest and it’s all because of you [Chorus] I want you gone in my life, for good, for good, for good Gone like the rain when it’s finally understood No more traces, no more ghosts in the frame I’m done carrying your shadow, I’m done with the pain I’m just a sad fighter after all Still standing when I should’ve let myself fall I throw my hands up, but I never feel free Because the hardest enemy is what’s inside me [Verse 2] I remember the words that you left on the table Cold and clean, like you were always able To leave me behind with a perfect escape While I kept every crack in my shape Now I move through the night like a bruise with a pulse Trying to rebuild from the wreckage and dust But your laugh still lingers in the back of my skull And it keeps my old anger full [Pre-Chorus] It burns, it really burns my heart when I see your name Feels like everything I touched went up in flame I keep saying I’m fine, but that’s not true There’s a war in my chest and it’s all because of you [Chorus] I want you gone in my life, for good, for good, for good Gone like the rain when it’s finally understood No more traces, no more ghosts in the frame I’m done carrying your shadow, I’m done with the pain I’m just a sad fighter after all Still standing when I should’ve let myself fall I throw my hands up, but I never feel free Because the hardest enemy is what’s inside me [Bridge] If I scream into the dark, will it take you away? If I tear out the memory, will I finally stay Whole again, or at least be enough To live without calling this love I’m tired of bleeding in silence Tired of turning hurt into violence Maybe victory is just learning to breathe When the past still reaches for me [Final Chorus] I want you gone in my life, for good, for good, for good Gone like the fire when it’s finally understood No more traces, no more ghosts in the frame I’m done carrying your shadow, I’m done with the pain I’m just a sad fighter after all Still standing when I should’ve let myself fall And if I break, let me break into light I’ve fought all my ghosts and I’m still here tonight [Outro] For good, for good, for good I want you gone For good, for good, for good I’ll carry on
