The Fighter Lyrics

Cover art for The Fighter lyrics by Fray, The

I don't think it's literally about a boxer or fighter, but metaphorically about guys in general, we are all "fighters" when it comes to relationships. I know I am. I'm always fighting whether this is the girl I want to be with for the rest of my life, or if I could do better so I start to get all these doubts about the girl. She always asks why I'm fighting all the time, why I just couldn't be satisfied with the relationship. But the truth is, I kept fighting. As soon as I enter the ring, doubts are creepin in, and the doubt swings at me like a ton of bricks, and down goes the relationship. Down goes everything we ever went through, even if it was for a year and a half. I speak on behalf of a girl I let go, the girl of my dreams, the perfect one for me, because I kept having doubts and I kept thinking there was something better. I kept fighting, I am The Fighter.

Maybe I was meant to be lonely, but we don't all have to all alone. But I got to try it, or it will destroy me.

Guys, try it. Try to love your girl with everything you have, don't fight it. She is perfect for you.

this is exactly what i thought this song meant. i just had to say that you said it beautifully:)
