Fighting For Me
Riley Clemmons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need the kinda love that is willing to fight
When the going gets tough
And my strength's not enough
I see You showing up like never before
This battle for my heart
You took on from the startYou are the peace when my mind's at war
And oh
You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself
Every word is a promise You keep
'Cause You love me like nobody else
You stand up for me in the darkest night
When my faith is weak You're still by my side
You will never stop fighting for me
You will never stop fighting for me
In the perfect timing You make all things right
You paint a silver lining in this heart of mine
When the going gets tough
And my strength's not enough
I see You showing up like never before
This battle for my heart
You took on from the start
You are the peace when my mind's at war
And oh
You will never stop fighting for me
When I can't fight for myself
Every word is a promise You keep'Cause You love me like nobody else
You stand up for me in the darkest night
When my faith is weak You're still by my side
You will never stop fighting for me
You will never stop fighting for me
Your love
Is winning me over

Is pulling me closer
Your love

When my faith is weak You're still by my side (yeah, yeah, my side)
