Fighters

[Verse 1]
The first, it was hard and straight to the chin
A spray of blood caught his face as he lay dead
She staggered back in shock and surprise
Shivered at the blow, tears welled in her eyes
Bracing himself, he waited for a reply
She punched so hard he thought that he would die
He tried to remember how he used to feel
But that was a memory and this, this was real

[Chorus]
When we used to fight, she said
"It was for something, not against each other"
But now we're losin' what was good
Leavin' us empty and hating one another, one another
The fighters, the fighters
But no one ever wins

[Verse 2]
Circlin' around, he shook his head
Nights like these, she wished she was already dead
She squared him up and wiped away the blood
Pushed him back, he hit the ground with a thud
Lost in the moment, he said a name
His voice blew through her like a hurricane
She tried to remember how she used to feel
But that was a memory and this, this was real

[Chorus]
When we used to fight, she said
"It was for something, not against each other"
But now we're losin' what was good
Leavin' us empty and hating one another, one another
The fighters, the fighters
But no one ever wins
