C
I'm a fighter, not bitter
I'm bruised but no quitter
Been chasing illusions
And hazy pipe dreams
When I have loved
I've given everything
Somewhere out there
Is someone for me
I'm a fighter, not bitter
Bruised but no quitter
V
A fool to think
Life's always fair
Plenty naive
Got caught unaware
Love picked me up, had me dancing on air
Kicked me right down to the bottom stair
C
I'm a fighter, not bitter
Bruised but no quitter
Been chasing illusions
And hazy pipe dreams
When I have loved, I gave everything
Somewhere out there, there's someone for me
I'm a fighter, not bitter
Bruised but no quitter
Verse
On a cold crescent morning
I'll pack up and leave
I've got nothing planned
Save a will to succeed
Hard work and hands shake off bad memories
I've been cut deep, but you won't see me bleed
C
I'm a fighter, not bitter
Bruised but no quitter
Been chasing illusions
And hazy pipe dreams
When I've loved, I've given everything
Somewhere out there is someone for me
I'm a fighter, not bitter
Bruised but no quitter
Instrumental
Bridge
Someday there'll be diamonds washed up with the stones
Until that day comes, still me on my own.
C
I'm a fighter, not bitter
Bruised but no quitter
Been chasing illusions
And hazy pipe dreams
When I've loved, I've given everything
Somewhere out there is someone for me
I'm a fighter, not bitter
Bruised but no quitter
