I Don't Want to Fight
Brian Deer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things are gonna go down different
End is in sight
Just have to fix our broken lines
But I want to do it better
Want to keep it together
Baby I don't want to fight
I struggle in the night
Sad to say that the days aren't better
Keep looking for the lights
In the distance to get closer
And I don't mean to frustrate you
With my black cloud talk
Baby I don't want to fight
You tell me I need to see things
In the sun
But that's when I get into trouble
I lose my compass
I don't see it that way
I'll work to set things right
I want to keep it together
Want to do it better
Baby I don't want to fight
