I Fought It Back
The Loveless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fought it back - but winds are so unkind
It's always there - behind my hopeless smiles
You're always there - til the day I die
I fought it back - but only on borrowed time
I fought it back - but only for a little while
It's always there - behind my hopeless smiles
It's in your stare
It's in the air
That I can't bear
Sometimes I wish that you could see
The pain that you feed
Sometimes I really wish you could bleed
For me again
Sometimes I really wish you could see
The snakes that crawl on me
Sometimes I really wish I could flee
From you again
