The Fighter Lyrics

i was a fighter
the fight was in my blood
i was a bull two fists like the side of a mountain

i was hungry
they shaped my heart into a knot
it's all i've got i've turned into a shark

something isn't right in me today
i can feel the beating of my heart
i don't want to fight no more
i've lost the will i hate the gore
i'm not the brooding man you used to know

i don't want to fight no more
there's nothing left i'm out the door
i stumble in the ring to pay the rent

i was a fighter
those days are over now
i won't turn back
i changed my mitts for cherry pits

something isn't right in me today
i can feel the beating of my heart
i don't want to fight no more
i've lost the will i hate the gore
i'm not the brooding man you used to know

i don't want to fight no more
there's nothing left i'm out the door
i stumble in the ring to pay the rent

what could we possibly say
i don't like this day
that will give me strength to win again

just like the good old days
a champ from the streets
a brute from the beat
a great iron man

i was a fighter
the fight was in my blood
i was a bull two fists like the side of a mountain

i was hungry 
they shaped my heart into a knot
it's all i've got i've turned into a shark

something isn't right in me today
i can feel the beating of my heart
i don't want to fight no more
i've lost the will i hate the gore
i'm not the brooding man you used to know

i don't want to fight no more
there's nothing left i'm out the door
i stumble in the ring to pay the rent

i was a fighter 
those days are over now
i won't turn back 
i changed my mitts for cherry pits

something isn't right in me today 
i can feel the beating of my heart
i don't want to fight no more
i've lost the will i hate the gore
i'm not the brooding man you used to know

i don't want to fight no more 
there's nothing left i'm out the door
i stumble in the ring to pay the rent

what could we possibly say
i don't like this day 
that will give me strength to win again

just like the good old days 
a champ from the streets
a brute from the beat
a great iron man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

obviously about being an over the hill boxer who no longer has the drive.
