[Verse 1]
Here I am, thinking of you
Things we say and the things we do
Doesn't seem long ago
I was holding you so safe and warm

[Pre-Chorus]
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 (Oh-oh, fighting for my life)
I'm back against the wall (Oh-oh fighting for my life)
Fighting for my life
Fighting, fighting for my life

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Fighting for my life, for my life (Oh-oh, fighting for my life)
I'm back against the wall (Oh-oh, fighting for my life)
Oh, fighting for my life
I'm fighting, fighting for my life

[Bridge]
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, will you look at me, look at me

[Chorus]
Fighting for my life, fighting for my life (Oh-oh, fighting for my life)
I'm back against the wall (Oh-oh, fighting for my life)
For my better life
I'm fighting, fighting for my life
I'm fighting for my life (Oh-oh, fighting for my life)
Fighting for my life (Oh-oh, fighting for my life)
For my life
(Fighting for my life) fighting for my life
