Fighting Within Lyrics by Chapter (band)

The Exchange

2016

Sometimes the hardest fight is the one we self-impose
Between where we stand, and where we stand to be
Just like most of us, I’m scared to take the first step
It’s always the greatest distance we must face
And always will be
(You should know, I think you should know)

But you should know by now
I won’t live for you
I will not falter
I will not fall
But you should know that by now
You’ve told yourself before
How many times?
Before your breath runs short

My world just falls on deaf ears
You’re selling yourself short
Don’t hold your breath
Don’t follow suit

I thought you said you’d be there
You get what you deserve
I thought you said you’d be there
(I thought you said)
I’ve lost all my respect

I took a deep breath
And listened to the old bray of my heart
I am, I am, I am

I’ve always been stuck in this constant fight
Between the difference in heart and mind
I have no patience for these weights chained to my feet
They will soon pull me under to the depths

And I exhale and now I know
It’s a bitter taste
But at least you know you’re living
