Lyrics
Fight For Us (Rick McGee)
Verse 1
How did a conversation take such a fatal turn?
Emotional misunderstandings poured out in a few words
I was your person, our love was burning then a door slammed in my face
In the blink of an eye I’m wondering why
There’s nothing left to save
___________________________________________________________
Chorus 1 & 2
Why didn’t you fight for us? Why didn’t you try to hold on?
We coulda worked it out… that’s what you do when love is strong
Why wouldn’t you fight for us? Why wouldn’t you try to hold on?
We shoulda worked it out… that’s what lover’s do when love is strong
It’s gone
___________________________________________________________
Verse 2
Too early in the morning, too late to make amends
Driving that lonely highway after losing my best friend
You should have just shot me, I live but I’m not me trying to make it through the day
My heart is bleeding, I’m desperate for healing
But it seems so far away
___________________________________________________________
Bridge
You froze me out
You wouldn’t let me in
It’s all clear now
This is where the end begins
Why?
We shoulda worked it out
___________________________________________________________
Chorus 3
Why wouldn’t you fight for us? Why wouldn’t you try to hold on?
We coulda worked it out… that’s what you do when love is strong
Why wouldn’t you fight for us? Why wouldn’t you try to hold on?
We shoulda worked it out… that’s what lover’s do when love is strong
We had forever… baby…
