Here I am, thinking of you

Things we say and things we do

Doesn't seem long ago

I was holding you so safe and warm



Suddenly my life is changed

And I find myself like a ship in a raging storm

I'm fighting to hold on, will you look at me now



[Chorus:]

Fighting for my life, fighting for my life

I'm back against the wall, fighting for my life

Fighting, fighting for my life



I recall, the days of my youth, my head in the air

My back to the truth

Runnin' from the good things I had

My hunger for a piece of the game



Now I find those days are gone

And I'm hanging' on

I know it can never be the same

I'm fighting to hold on, will you look at me now



Ooh yeah ooh oh yeah, baby ooh oh



I've been at the corner for the longest time

I have gone the distance with the will to survive

I tell you one thing, I can't always be right

Gonna live, gonna live every day like it's the last one I got

I'm fighting to hold on



[Chorus]



Fighting for my life, I'm fighting for my life
