What will you fight for

If you wont no one will

What will you fight for

Sometimes we are the demise of ourselves

We lash out without fearing the sting

And when the pain is more then you can bare

You act as though you never even cared

But that reminder is there

lingering in the depths of your skin

Itching, irritating your soul

because deep down its something you already know

You struck a chord a nerve and it went too far

You understood your pain, but didn't comply with the other

After all it takes two to meet, but only one to feel alone

Takes a million words to argue, but only a few to say I'm sorry

Know when the fight is worth the battle

Otherwise you could end up losing the war

Know when it is time to state your case

and when it is time to hold your peace

Say how you feel without pushing buttons

Leave all burdens in one place

That way when you walk around the house

You know where you can meet your troubles again

Work together to solve your issues

Don't leave one another to do it all

We were brought together to take life head on

So when things look bleak always look to the horizon

Together we said forever

Together we said I do

Together we knew there would be bumps along the way

but we still owe it to each other to try for better days

So fight to exist for each other

Fight to be what each of you need

because giving up is what's easy

But standing up in the eye of the storm sets you apart
