lyrics
'Losing Battle'
I won’t fight
I won’t fight
I won’t fight
I won’t fight
Time is rolling slowing
It’s messing with my head
People out there lost their minds I aint going back, again
Take me as you find me
I mean no disrespect
Just sometimes say what’s on my mind when I should keep it to myself
Oh it feels like I’m losing you
I’ve lost the battle once again
Oh feels like I’m losing, feels like I’ve lost
I won’t fight this losing battle once again
I won’t fight you girl I know we’re at the end
Say I’m giving up well you packed up a long long time ago
You and I need time apart to grow
Tried to play me girl then keep it on the low
I won’t fight
I won’t fight
I won’t fight this losing battle over again
I’m sick of all this
These questions in my head
Why am I still holding on when it cuts me to my very depth?
Everybody’s been there
Wishing they were someone else
I aint got time for dreaming coz I’ve done this to myself
I know the wishing aint doing no good
Gotta get over myself
Something tells me you’ve been up to no good
All along
I won’t fight this losing battle once again
I won’t fight you girl I know we’re at the end
Say I’m giving up well you packed up a long long time ago
You and I need time apart to grow
Tried to play me girl then keep it on the low
I won’t fight
I won’t fight
I won’t fight this losing battle over again
(I won’t fight) Oh we used to be friends
(I won’t fight) You just broke me down in the end
(I won’t fight) Baby please
(I won’t fight) Save me please
I won’t fight
I won’t fight
Break
I won’t fight this losing battle once again
I won’t fight you girl I know we’re at the end
Say I’m giving up well you packed up a long long time ago
You and I need time apart to grow
Tried to play me girl then keep it on the low
I won’t fight
I won’t fight
I won’t fight this losing battle over again
