Fighter

"Diamond rings and old barstools,
one's for queens and one's for fools,
one's the future and one's the past,
one's forever, and one won't last.

It ain't like midnight cigarette smoke,
it ain't like watered down whiskey and coke,
I guess some things just don't mix like you hoped,
like me and you, diamond rings and old barstools."

Diamond Rings And Old Barstools - Tim McGraw

~~~

I'm a fighter, not a lover

I'm changing that phrase

I'm not a lover, I'm a fighter

I fight for what's right

I fight for what's mine

I fight, often

She's a lover, not a fighter

and You're a lover, not a fighter

you both won't fight

you won't fight for anything

always trying to keep the peace and harmony

You're both lovers, and you'll never fight

She's a lover, and that's why you love Her

lovers don't love fighters, and in the rare cases they do

fighters become lovers for a while

and things are all good for the moment

but I'm just a fighter

fighters are meant to fight alone

because two fighters doesn't make things right

you need a fighter and a lover, perfect combination

they may fight, but they'll also love

two lovers is too loving for me

but they work together all too well

which makes it hard for either to leave

makes it easy for both to stay

but you both want to leave

and if She leaves, You will too

a fucked up version of Romeo and Juliet

because you love each other

and you care about each other

much, as most lovers do

and I fought for you, you know I did

I still fight for you, fight your battles

because a rose and a sword work well together

they're just not meant for forever

I'm a fighter, and I'll fight this world alone

because I don't fear death nor pain

I fear being put into a cage

so I'll fight for my freedom from this damned society.

I'm tired of fighting.
