Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It wasn't all a scream
We packed away the dream
And pocketed the loss
In a world without
A little bit of doubt
Are we just the cost?
I couldn't stand the rain
So I ran away
And all I found was snow
[PreChorus]
Now I'm back on my own
Another winter in shadow
In shadow
Can I do it alone?
Now I'm back in my cell
Back with myself
Waiting on the phone
[Chorus]
But I will
I will keep fighting
I won't fade away
I will face every day
As if it's my last one
And I will keep you safe
Just like our past was
Fight for love every day
[Verse 2]
The day I went away
From everything I chose
To everything I own
It was the day I lost
It wasn't only you
Or the springing well of youth
But the certainty of love
[PreChorus]
Now I'm back on my own
Another winter in shadow
Just me and my shadow
Can I do it alone?
Now I'm back in my cell
Back in my shell
But I'm backing myself
[Chorus]
'Cause I will
I will keep fighting
I won't fade away
I will face every day
As if it's my last one
And I will keep you close
Just like our past was
Fight for love every day
'Cause this could be my last one
[Outro]
This could be my last one
It could be my last one
This could be my last one
So I will keep fighting
I will keep fighting
I'll keep on fighting
And I'll fight every day
