When We Fight

*[Verse 1]* When we fight, it hurts like all the time, Every word gets stuck inside my mind, I try to speak, but I lose my voice, I shut the door, I don't have a choice. I go cold when the arguments start, Like I'm trying to protect my heart, I don't feel like talking anymore, I'm standing here staring at the floor. Who are we? What happened to us? How did love turn into all this? I'm trying my best, can't you see? I'm trying to be the person you need me to be. *[Pre-Chorus]* But I can't change you, I can't fix what you won't see, I'm giving everything I've got, But you're still asking more from me. *[Chorus]* When we fight, I fall apart, You don't see the cracks inside my heart, I go quiet, I close the door, 'Cause I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore. I'm trying to be good, I'm trying to stay, I'm trying to find the words to say, Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? I'm crying underneath it all somehow. It's not always about who's right or wrong, It's about holding on when things go wrong, But I'm getting tired, I'm losing my light, And I'm scared I'll disappear when we fight. *[Verse 2]* I don't want another screaming night, Another argument that doesn't feel right, Another moment where we both break down, Another silence when nobody makes a sound. I wish you could see what's behind my eyes, All the hurt that I keep inside, I'm not trying to run away from you, I'm just trying to figure out what to do. You have to fix yourself, I can't do that, I can't carry everything on my back, I can love you, I can stand beside you, But I can't become the person who saves you. And maybe I'm not perfect, that's true, But I'm still trying every day for you, I'm trying to grow, I'm trying to change, But sometimes all this pain feels strange. *[Pre-Chorus]* I'm reaching for you, But you're reaching back with pain, We keep running in circles, Then starting it all again. *[Chorus]* When we fight, I fall apart, You don't see the cracks inside my heart, I go quiet, I close the door, 'Cause I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore. I'm trying to be good, I'm trying to stay, I'm trying to find the words to say, Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? I'm crying underneath it all somehow. It's not always about who's right or wrong, It's about holding on when things go wrong, But I'm getting tired, I'm losing my light, And I'm scared I'll disappear when we fight. *[Bridge – Quiet]* I don't want to be your enemy, I don't want you to be mine, I just want us to remember Why we loved each other in the first place. I'm standing on the edge of breaking, Trying not to hit the ground, I'm looking for a way back up, But I don't know if you'll be around. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I'm still here... I'm still trying. *[Breakdown – Powerful]* STOP! I'm tired of pretending I'm okay! I'm tired of losing myself every day! I can't keep carrying what isn't mine, I can't keep falling just to make you feel fine! You have your choices, And I have mine, We can't keep hurting each other And calling it love every time! I'm not your enemy! I'm not here to fight! I'm just asking you to hear me Before I lose myself tonight! *[Final Chorus – Huge]* When we fight, I fall apart, But I'm still protecting what's left of my heart, I go quiet, but I'm still here, Even when the silence screams in my ears. I'm trying to be good, I'm trying to stay, I'm trying to find a better way, Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? I'm still standing, even if I don't know how. It's not always about who's right or wrong, It's about finding a way to move along, I can't change you, you can't change me, But maybe together we can learn to see. *[Outro]* When we fight... I go cold... I lose the words I used to know. But underneath the silence, I'm still trying to be heard. I'm still trying to be good. I'm still trying to hold on. So before we break completely, Before we lose what we had, Just hear me when I tell you... *I don't want to fight anymore.*
