The Fighter

The lover held her love She begged him not to go The fighter wrapped his gloves The fighter said I know I know I know Just this one last time I swear you'll still be mine But he can't promise much He goes for one last touch one last touch Chorus Maybe we were meant to be lonely lonely Maybe we were meant to be on our own Loneliness has always been with me with me Maybe we don't have to be all alone Verse 2 The fighter goes inside The dawn is creepin' in He swings with all his might And all that might again And she's in love with him But lovers don't always win He never even saw the swing She calls out his name calls his name Chorus Bridge What breaks your bones Is not the load you're carryin' What breaks you down Is all in how you carry Verse 3 The lover held her love She begs him not to go She unwraps his gloves The lover said I know I know I know Kissed his trembling lips She touched his fingertips Somehow they both know He's not comin' home comin' home Chorus version 2 Loneliness has always been with me with me Maybe we were meant to be on our own But I gotta try or it will destroy me 'Cause baby we don't have to be all alone
