I Don't Wanna Fight
Westlife [WikiSeda] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't sleep
Everything I ever knew
Is a lie without you
I can't breathe
When my heart is broke in two
There's no beat, without you
You're not gone, but you're not here
Instead that's the way it seems tonight
If we could try to end these wars
I know that we can make it right
Cause baby

I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
& this loneliness that's in my heart
Wont let me be apart from you
I don't want to have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
So I'm hoping we can start tonight
Cause I don't wanna fight
No more

How can I live
When everything that I adore
And everything I'm living for
Girl it's in you
I can't dream
Sleepless nights have got me bad
The only dream I ever had
Is being with you
I know that we can make it right
It's gonna take a little time
Lets not leave ourselves with no way out
Lets not cross that line

I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
& this loneliness that's in my heart
Wont let me be apart from you
I don't want to have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
So I'm hoping we can start tonight
Cause I don't wanna fight
No more

Remember that I made a vow that I would
Never let you go
I mean it then I mean it now and I
Want to tell you so

I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
& this loneliness that's in my heart
Wont let me be apart from you
I don't want to have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
So I'm hoping we can start tonight
Cause I don't wanna fight
No more

I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
& this loneliness that's in my heart
Wont let me be apart from you
I don't want to have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
So I'm hoping we can start tonight
Cause I don't wanna fight
No more





It's a lie without you
Without you

WELCOME TO WESTLIFE WORLD!

I always picture Mark walking beside the lake back at Ireland whenever I hear this... just like what he was doing when they firmed him for the Westlife Story documentary and this was playing in the background. I still play that VCD every once in a while. Such good times. I'm glad I get to live my childhood with them as my idols. Boy, their songs never get old. :) Forever a Westlife fan.
