The Fighter Lyrics - Bon Jovi

1 I should write down these words ‘fore I lose them

2 Or write you a song just to use them

3 Someday you may wanna know who I am,

4 Beyond this facade no guitar in my hand

5 No I am not a writer

6 These eyes hold no secrets I hide no truths

7 I am all I am, all I was to you

8 The lie and the promise, the great escape artist,

9 The weed in your garden in that place you’re still guarding

10 Where I am not a liar

11 I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade

12 I am the fighter, few will remember my name

13 These are hands that can offer protection

14 But hid me from my own reflection

15 I’m that book that ain’t finished, a sink full of dishes,

16 The horse that ain’t winning, the priest that’s still sinning

17 The spark that starts the fire

18 I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade

19 I am the fighter, few will remember my name

20 With loneliness next to me, feels its misery, nursing another black eye

21 On the New Jersey turnpike, counting the headlights

22 Those cars just like days pass me by

23 I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade

24 I am the fighter, few will remember my name

25 I am the fighter, though not a boxer by trade

26 I am the fighter, a fighter’s born but not made

27 I should write down these words ‘fore I lose them

28 Or write you a song just to use them.
