Fought for Me - Paradise Fears

All I want is to remember the way that we used to be

The whole universe was just you and me

Every single time we threw our hearts in the air

We brought it back down so beautifully

All I wanna do is take it all back, but I can’t rewind

Get my head on straight and keep my heart in line

I know I play it off like I just don’t care

But I still hear your voice in my head sometimes

Don’t know what I became when you walked out

You were too far away to see the fallout

If you ever really wanted me

You should’ve fought for me;

you should’ve died for me

Truth is, I love when it hurts

I know it’s fucked up, that’s the way my heart works

I only want when I’m not wanted;

I only love after I’ve lost it

Kinda funny how we only see it clearest when it’s far away

And we only seem to want it when it’s far too late

But every single time we throw our hearts in the air

We brought it back down to a different state

All I wanna do is take it all back, but I can’t rewind

Get my head on straight and keep my heart in line

I try to tell myself that I just don’t care

But it’s her voice ringing in my head this time

Is it too late for waiting, no second chances

No second guessing, no second glances

No way to go back, no way to unhurt

No way to be there when you needed comfort

Do you really feel like there’s a change in me

Do you really love me or just love what you want me to be?

On the battlefield of what we used to be

Would you have fought for me?

Would you have died for me?

Would you climb up into the sky and into the stars for me?

Would you promise that you’d give up who you are for me?

And would you get down on your knees and pray to god for me?

Make it stop for me, let me always be

Number one in your heart

But I can’t be what you want because

I’m burned by the fire but I still love the spark

And I can’t put it out, and I can’t be changed

To watch this beautiful thing go up in beautiful flames
