Always the fighter but I think I'm fighting alone
I can't keep crying, my faith isn't lying, it's just colder
And I fear the loneliest parts of my heart are afraid
Being the worst and the best in my head, I just can't think straight

I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won't back down
Born from a fighter
I know I fight when I need to feel loved
Strong like a fighter
What if my love is just not strong enough?

The closer you get to my heart, I keep watching it break
And all of the love I have trusted have just been mistakes
I'm fire and I'm ice, I'm wrong and I'm right
Got my fist in the air, it just shows you I care
Is that okay if you can save me?

'Cause I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won't back down
Born from a fighter
I know I fight when I need to feel loved
Strong like a fighter
What if my love is just not strong enough?

I know the battle's inside me
It's against me and not you
Darlin', I know that you're trying
But it's just something I need to do

I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won't back down
Born from a fighter
I know I fight when I need to feel loved
Strong like a fighter
What if my love is just not strong enough?

I know the battle's inside me
It's against me and not you
Darlin', I know that you're trying
But it's just something I need to do

I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can't fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won't back down
