Dashboard Confessional - The Good Fight lyrics
[Dashboard Confessional - The Good Fight lyrics]
The martyr is meaningless
The campaign has died
In the planning stages and the fallen faces
Are the singular proof it was ever alive
This purchased rebellion has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded and left
To die championless championless
Championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Hope has sprung a perfect dive
A perfect day, a perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue
Conceding your defeat
This purchased rebellion has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded and left
To die championless championless
Championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Does it comfort you to know
You fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
And you boast your bitter bragging
Rights to anyone who'll listen
While you're left with nothing
Tangible to gain
