TROY LILLICH (LYRICS)
?FIGHT TO LOVE YOU?
(VERSE)
I HEAR THE SOUND OF THE BELL INSIDE THE BOXING RING
WHEN WE DANCE GLOVE TO GLOVE ACTING LIKE ENEMIES
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
I?VE WATCHED OUR MARRIAGE VOWS FADE LIKE A GHOST
AND NOW ALL THAT?S LEFT OF OUR LOVE IS A DARK SHADOW
HERE IN THE DARKNESS, IS THERE LIGHT
(CHORUS)
WHY DO I HAVE TO FIGHT
TO KEEP MY WOMAN?S LOVE
WHY DO YOU KNOCK ME TO THE GROUND
DEFEATING BOTH OF US
YOU?VE GOT ME UP AGAINST THE ROPES
KNOCKING MY HEART OUT COLD
IT'S TIME WE SETTLE THE SCORE WITH THE TRUTH
WHY DO I HAVE TO FIGHT TO LOVE YOU
(VERSE)
IT?S LIKE HITTING MY HEART WITH THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH
WATCHING GLASS MEMORIES SHATTER INTO PIECES OF US
WITH DREAMS WE?VE MADE
THEN THE MOMENT I STAND BACK UP PROUD ON MY FEET
YOU KNOCK ME BACK DOWN AND FALL BACK OUT OF LOVE WITH ME
AND I WATCH THE TEARS FALL LIKE RAIN
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(INSTRUMENTAL)
(CHORUS)
YOU?VE GOT ME UP AGAINST THE ROPES
KNOCKING MY HEART OUT COLD
IT'S TIME WE SETTLE THE SCORE WITH THE TRUTH
WHY DO I HAVE TO FIGHT TO LOVE YOU
WE'RE TAKING OFF OUR WEDDING RINGS
I GUESS WE BOTH LOSE
WHY DID I HAVE TO FIGHT
OH, OH, FIGHT TO LOVE YOU
