RACHEL PLATTEN Fight Song LYRICS
EP: "Fight Song" (2015)
Fight Song
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song (Hey!)
Take back my life song (Hey!)
Prove I'm alright song (Hey!)
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
No I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Lone Ranger
Maybe I'm selfish call me see-through
But I'm debating if I really need to
Be tied, tied to someone forever
Sure I get lonely sometimes and miss being together but hey!
I wanna roam from city to city
Let the highway and the crowd fill the hunger that's in me
Fill me up with fireworks and tell me I'm skinny
I could soak up the fire in the buzz they give me
Oooo-ooooo
Long nights, stay up late
Drink the sky, meditate
Oooo-ooooo
Open eyes, sunroof
Give me miles, give me truth
Sometimes I get high, sometimes I get low
But I'm calm as can be in a room full of strangers
But oh my, don't try to get close
I'm just gonna leave 'cause baby I'm a lone ranger
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (I'm a Lone Ranger)
I'm a lion, I'm a tiger
I'm a caged-bird, I'm on fire
Got these paper wings, but they don't hold the air
Get so close to somebody, but I don't stay there
Much less brave than I admit
Much more scared than they all think
But I'm protecting the organ in my chest
'Cause the blood, sweat, and tears they can make quite a mess
Oooo-ooooo
Open eyes, open roof
Give me miles, give me truth
Sometimes I get high, sometimes I get low
But I'm calm as can be in a room full of strangers
But oh my, don't try to get close
I'm just gonna leave 'cause baby I'm a lone ranger
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
'Cause baby I'm a lone ranger
[x2:]
I don't want to get broken baby
I don't want to get broken baby
I don't want to get broken babe, cut open babe, cut open babe
Sometimes I get high, sometimes I get low
But I'm calm as can be in a room full of strangers
But oh my, don't try to get close
I'm just gonna leave 'cause baby
I'm a lone ranger
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
(Sometimes I get high)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
('Cause baby I'm a lone ranger)
But oh my, don't try to get close
I'm just gonna leave 'cause baby I'm a lone ranger

Beating Me Up
We threw words like they were sharp knives
Fell like we tripped over a landmine
You said we lost love
You made your mind up
And I just got quiet, my body went numb
And I pretend that I can handle it and if I hold my head up, I won't drown
Can't let go, you're like the chemical, you're racing through me
My heart just pounds, pounds, pounds...
It's getting louder and louder
Every time I think about you, about you
I'll be better off without you, without you
I wish my heart would stop, I wish my heart would stop
Beating me up
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up
You've moved on, I know I should too
My cuts are all gone, my pain feels brand new
Who turned the lights down? Who took my flashlight?
Why does my heart sound like it might burst tonight?
It's getting louder and louder
Every time I think about you, about you
I'll be better off without you, without you
I wish my heart would stop, wish my heart would stop
Beating me up
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
I wish my heart would stop
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
I wish my heart would stop
I won't let you get the best of me
How'd my heart become my enemy?
I won't let you get the best of me
How'd my heart become my enemy?
(Beating me up, beating me up)
(Beating me up, beating me up)
It's getting louder (louder, louder) every time I think about you (about you, about you)
I'll be better off without you (without you, without you)
I wish my heart would stop
I wish my heart would stop
Beating me up
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
Whoa, whoa
Wish my heart would
(Whoa, oh, whoa)
Wish my heart would stop
Beating me up
Beating me up

Congratulations
I'm stupid and confused
My ego's raw and bruised
Your words were weapons and
They tore me down again
We play our conversation
You threw your accusations
I'm always so complaisant
I never change the station
Help me find a sharper knife
I need to cut you out my life
I take it all, I let it slide
But hey, you went too far this time
Congratulations, got what you wanted, your winning now
Congratulations, you got your shot and you wore me down
And I really don't think you get it now
No I really don't think you get it now
It's killing me, I admit it now
Congratulations, you tore my heart out, congratulations
It must feel good digested to be so damn aggressive
But the pounding in my chest is, begging for protection
You think you're innocence, pure gold and heaven sent
But, my tears are instruments, they sound like consequences
Help me find a sharper knife
I need to cut you out my life
I take it all, I let it slide
But hey, you went too far this time
Congratulations, got what you wanted, your winning now
Congratulations, you got your shot and you wore me down
And I really don't think you get it now
No I really don't think you get it now
It's killing me, I admit it now
Congratulations, you tore my heart out, congratulations
Save me from myself cause I, need somebody's help
Yeah, I dig the deepest wells and I get lost
You, you got it all I guess
And me, I'll take the fall for this
Ohhh
Help me find a sharper knife
I need to cut you out my life
I take it all, I let it slide
But hey, you went too far this time
Congratulations, got what you wanted, your winning now
Congratulations, you got your shot and you wore me down
And I really don't think you get it now
No I really don't think you get it now
It's killing me, I admit it now
Congratulations, you tore my heart out, congratulations
Nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah
