They'll look you in the eyes and stone you

Then turn and disown you, don't you 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

Should have known better than to mistake business for love

Should have 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 but that's just a high-class bribe, don't let them take the fight

outta you



There's always someone younger, someone with more hunger, don't let them take the fight outta

you

They'll say you're the 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
