Lyrics
Fight Outta You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They'll look you in the eyes and
stone you,
then turn and disown you.
Don't 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.
Shoulda known better
than to mistake business for love.
Shoulda 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,
that's just a high class bribe.
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.
Shoulda known better
than to mistake business for love.
Shoulda known better
than to mistake a fist for a glove.
There's always someone younger,
someone with more hunger.
Don't let them take the fight
outta you.
They'll say you're 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.
