When I first met you I must admit
I was fighting and losing
But I wouldn’t tell You cause
I knew that You’d take over
I wanted to undo all my mess
So it looked like I did it on purpose
You had my solution
But I knew that You’d take over

I wouldn’t let you in cause
I’d have to begin
To let it go
And I held onto my pride
Cause I wanted to be in control
But then You showed me

You’re fighting for me
Now I don’t have to anymore
You’re love is holding me
When I can’t hold on anymore
My heart was breaking
But it doesn’t have to anymore
I don’t deserve it but you’re showing me I’m worth
I’m worth fighting for

I’m glad I chose to do
Not what I felt but what was true
I finally did it cause I knew that you’d take over
I’m grateful now I see
This pain is the reason I believe
I think it’s incredible
How Your loss could win me over

I wanna let you in cause
I need to begin to let it go
And for my pride I apologise
Cause I know
You wanted to show me

You’re fighting for me
Now I don’t have to anymore
You’re love is holding me
When I can’t hold on anymore
My heart was breaking
But it doesn’t have to anymore
I don’t deserve it but you’re showing me I’m worth
I’m worth fighting for

The size of the fight
Is measure by the prize that will be won
Ayy, ayy
You showed me what I’m worth
When You poured out Your love
And now I know
(You’re fighting for me)
Now I know
(You’re fighting for me)
So when my battle comes
My faith is strong because I’m not alone

Had a little love, but I spread it thin
Falling in her arms and out again
Made a bad name for my game ‘round town
Tore out my heart, shut it down

Nothing to do, nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do, no one but me
And that’s all I need
I’m perfectly lonely
‘Cause I don’t belong to anyone, nobody belongs to me.

I see my friends around from time to time
When their ladies let ‘em slip away
And when they ask me how I’m doin’ with mine
This is always what I say

Nothing to do, nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do, no one to be
Is it really hard to see why

And this is not to say there never comes a day
I’ll take my chances and start again
And when I look behind on all my younger times
I’ll have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong

I’m perfectly lonely
‘Cause I don’t belong to anyone, and nobody belongs to me
That’s the way, that’s the way, that’s the way that I want it.
