[Tom MacDonald - Fighter lyrics]
Bottom of the ninth, up against the odds
Runnin' out of time, only got one shot
When it's really do-or-die
When your back's against the wall
When you fightin' for your life
Do you believe in you or not?
I'm a believer, I believe
I'm a believer, I believe
Second-guessin' every breath
I'm full of questions
Past is full of cigarettes
Alcohol and depression
Therapists and all the different
Pills can get expensive
All this bottled up aggression
I'm too old to get arrested
Almost died tryna get here
Got high through my best years
Got sober, then I relapsed
Then I cleaned up, got my head clear
Sometimes it feels like there ain't
Shit to believe in
But I believe that we're all
Here for a reason, yeah
You don't think you're a fighter
But I know you are
And you are a liar if you say you aren't
You don't say that you're worth it
But I think you are
And I think you're perfect the
Way that you are
Tired of the pressure I put
On myself for years tired from my twenties
The whiskey bottles and beers
Tired of smilin' while I've
Been holdin' back tears
But I believe I can do it, so I'm here
I'm a believer, I believe
I'm a believer, I believe
I've been told I have a death wish
No one's interested cold and too aggressive
Close to hypertension
I'm broken from the pressure
Explosive with my temper i'm sober
But I'm stressin' and hopin' it gets better
Am I fallin' off? Should I give it
Up or put it all on pause?
Let go of this dream so I can
Visit home and talk to Mom?
Maybe all I need's another Instagram post
With a quote about believin' in
Yourself when you're low
You don't think you're a fighter
But I know you are
And you are a liar if you say you aren't
You don't say that you're worth it
But I think you are
And I think you're perfect the
Way that you are
Maybe I'm weaker, and I know I've lost before
But I'm a believer, nothin' is impossible
I'm a believer, I believe
I'm a believer, I believe
You don't think you're a fighter
But I know you are
And you are a liar if you say you aren't
You don't say that you're worth it
But I think you are
And I think you're perfect the
Way that you are
Runnin' out of time, only got one shot
When it's really do-or-die
When your back's against the wall
When you fightin' for your life
Do you believe in you or not?
I'm a believer, I believe
I'm a believer, I believe
Second-guessin' every breath
I'm full of questions
Past is full of cigarettes
Alcohol and depression
Therapists and all the different
Pills can get expensive
All this bottled up aggression
I'm too old to get arrested
Almost died tryna get here
Got high through my best years
Got sober, then I relapsed
Then I cleaned up, got my head clear
Sometimes it feels like there ain't

You don't think you're a fighter

And you are a liar if you say you aren't
You don't say that you're worth it
