The New Roses - Fight You Leaving Me Lyrics

FIGHT YOU LEAVING ME

ALL THESE WORDS IN MY HEAD
BUT NOTHING IS WHAT I SAID
I JUST SIGHED AND WATCHED YOU LEAVE

I DIDN'T FIGHT OR BEG YOU
OR SIMPLY JUST REACT TO
ALL THE CHANCES YOU'VE BEEN GIVING ME

BUT WHEN THE LAST WORD HAS BEEN SPOKEN
AND THE LAST TEAR HAS BEEN CRIED
WHEN THE SHOUTS ALL FADE AWAY
AND THE SILENCE COMES TO STAY
I MUST BE AS STRONG AS I CAN BE
AND FIGHT FOR YOU AND DON'T FIGHT YOU LEAVING ME

I LIGHT UP THE LETTER THAT PROMISED I'D BE BETTER
CAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT YOU WOULD STILL BELIEVE
I KNOW THAT I'M A COWARD
BUT IN THESE FINAL HOURS
ALL I CAN DO IS GIVE YOU SOME RELIEF

CAUSE WHEN THE LAST WORD HAS BEEN SPOKEN
AND THE LAST TEAR HAS BEEN CRIED
WHEN THE SHOUTS ALL FADE AWAY
AND THE SILENCE COMES TO STAY
I MUST BE AS STRONG AS I CAN BE
AND FIGHT FOR YOU AND DON'T FIGHT YOU LEAVING

NOW YOU LOOK AT ME SO DESPERATELY
AND I KNOW YOU EXPECT
ME TO TELL A LIE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
BUT I JUST WATCH YOU PACK
YOU DESERVE MUCH MORE SO I JUST HOPE
THAT SOMEDAY YOU WILL UNDERSTAND

WHY WITH ALL THESE WORDS IN MY HEAD
NOTHING IS WHAT I SAID, OH YEAH

CAUSE WHEN THE LAST WORD HAS BEEN SPOKEN
AND THE LAST TEAR HAS BEEN CRIED
WHEN THE SHOUTS ALL FADE AWAY
AND THE SILENCE COMES TO STAY
I MUST BE AS STRONG AS I CAN BE
AND FIGHT FOR YOU AND DON'T FIGHT YOU LEAVING ME
