The Fight of Our Lives – Cole Merkosky

The world is taunting me
In sleepless nights it haunts my dreams
And when it talks it speaks
In echoes of what used to be

I came here with a plan
To make my mark on all I can
But here I stay resigned
My name is lost to the sands of time

But still, I know my place is here
And when you left, dear
The fight of our lives appeared
And led me down this road

Ourselves were all we knew
And in time I came to rely on you
And when you left I fell
You had me crawling through the depths of hell

But still, I know my place is here
And when you left, dear
The fight of our lives appeared
And led me down this road

And this time I know I have arrived
Yeah somehow I survived
I fought, oh, the fight of our lives
When everything seemed lost

But that’s in the past now
The last bell has rung out
And I’m bruised and I’m battered
But I know that I’ll be okay

Still, sometimes these thoughts creep in
About how things could have been
Yeah, if my heart never shattered
Could I be where I am today?

‘Cause your love was my confidence
And your lies were the catalyst
And if I never met you I’d never learn
Who I could be

And since the moment I surrendered
To the truth that you have rendered
I’ve fought for my life now
And you won’t ever hold me back, no

They say that time will come to heal all wounds
And this fight has left me with quite a few
But the truth of this ordeal
And all it’s done to me
It’s been centred on you
And all you claim to be

‘Cause your change of heart was all I knew
In the image of us, you were my muse
Yeah, you pulled me down just to tear me up
But your leaving me was the crucible

You’re not the light of my life on my way home
Yeah, you left me blind in September snow
But in the end you made me fight the good fight

And that fight is the fight of our lives

So take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

Here I stand; it seems so long ago
I looked out at the city that stood below
And I thought the fight was fought

Still the road is ahead of me
Sometimes life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
But we live it still

Here I stand on the precipice
Looking out and there’s nothing that’s quite like this

It’s time to fight
The good fight
