The Fighter (Album Version) Lyrics

I was a fighter

In a previous life

I punched a man so hard

I had to run for my life

I ran to my mothers arms

I held on tight

I'll do what is best from now on momma

I'll do what's right

And she said

Run child

Run like the wind

But as soon as

This is over

Won't you please get sober

And start over again

And she said

Run child

Run like the wind

Don't fall down like your father

Who belongs in the gutter

Like the fool he is

But despite all this

Just know that I love you

Well I was a thriller killer

With a silicone knife

I stabbed their backs so hard

I was in fear for my life

I fled to the only safe place

I'd ever known

I caught every green light that night

on my way home

And she said

Run, child

Run like the wind

Soon as

This is over

Won't you please get sober

And start over again

And she said

Run, child

Run like the wind

But don't fall down like your father

Don't become the narcissist he is

But despite all this

Just know that I love you

I was spoiled rotten

Fading away

Making a spectacle of myself

Every day

Then I saw a teardrop fall down

from her face

And the moment that she saw my eyes

Her deepest fears were realized

She kept calling me

Calling me

But I would not pickup

She kept calling me

Calling me

But I would not listen

And she said

Run, child

Run like the wind

Soon as this is over

Won't you please get sober

And start over again

Run, child

Run like the wind

Don't fall down like your father

Who belongs inthe gutter like

The fool he is

But despite all this

Just know that I love you
