I Will Fight For You

I know what it's like

To feel death and despair

Clawing at your back

Because life isn't fair


I've also fought battles

Wars waged in my head

Over whether life is worth living

Or if I'm better off dead


Sometimes I'm victorious,

But sometimes I'm not

When my wounds, self-inflicted,

Fill with tears, fresh and hot


I know what it's like

To be trapped in that hole

That we know as depression

As I'm sure you've been told


But I'm still here fighting

For both my life and yours

Because I'll always believe

That you're worth fighting for


I don't care that you're broken

'Cus I'm broken too

But if ever you stumble,

I'll still fight for you


I'll fight 'cus you're worth it

Whether you believe it or not

I'll fight cus I think

You deserve one more shot


At living a life

Where you're finally free

Of the voices that plague you

And won't let you be


But until then, I'll fight

Both for you and for me

Because you are worth it

This I truly believe
