What im fighting for
What im fighting for
Said you love me so
But babe you let me out the door
Cut me through the core
Were you even heard him for real
No no dont know how you feel
oh ooh
And if you think my heart's made of steel
Guess you dont know how i feel
Guess you dont know how i feel
oh oh ooh
And now im gone
You want me back again
And now im gone
You bring the death to life again
And now im gone...
You want me back again.
eeeeh...
You want me back again... eeehh
You want me back again. ehhh
And now im gone
You want me back again... eeehh
And now im gone
You want me back again
Ohh... girl you haven't made up you mind
It was a waste of time
After all this time
Falling fast for you was a crime
You made you're dark light shine
You made you're dark light shine
Oohh...
And now im gone
You want me back again
And now im gone
You bring the death to life again
And now im gone...
You want me back again.
eeeeh...
You want me back again... eeehh
You want me back again. ehhh
And now im gone
You want me back again... eeehh
And now im gone
You want me back again
