Fighter

Don't think that I don't see the way you struggle Watchin' me struggle Don't think that I don't feel you turn away Every time I turn away And please believe that I believe When I'm prayin' That you're right beside me prayin' For the same thing You're 5' 3" born in Carolina Front pew pretty And Friday night free You're dashboard singin' Little red Corvette Sweet as forgiveness From the moment that we met I never knew I had a fighter I know when you're silent The silence says more than a scream And I know when you say that you hate me It ain't what you mean When you say that you'll leave and you'll leave But only for a while For just a while You're stubborn and strong Crazy as New Orleans Your faded blue denim A diamond on the town My t-shirt in the mornin' Midnight in my hands And there you're still here, I just don't understand Never knew I had a fighter Just when I thought I knew everythin' about you You're 5' 3" born in Carolina Still front pew pretty And Friday night free You're dashboard singin' Little red Corvette Sweet as forgiveness From the moment that we met I never knew I had a fighter I never knew I had a fighter Please believe that I believe when I'm prayin' that you're right beside me prayin' Never knew I had a fighter
