  • Don't think that I don't see the way you struggle
    Watching me struggle
    Don't think that I don't feel you turn away
    Every time I turn away

    And please believe that I believe
    When I'm praying
    That you're right beside me praying
    For the same thing

    You're 5' 3" born in Carolina
    Front pew pretty
    And Friday night free
    You're dashboard singing
    Little red Corvette
    Sweet as forgiveness
    From the moment that we met
    I never knew I had a fighter

    I know when you're silent
    The silence says more than a scream
    And I know when you say that you hate me
    It ain't what you mean
    When you say that you'll leave and you'll leave
    But only for a while
    For just a while

    You're stubborn and strong
    Crazy as New Orleans
    Your faded blue denim
    A diamond on the town
    My t-shirt in the morning
    Midnight in my hands
    At day you're still here, I just don't understand
    Never knew I had a fighter

    Just when I thought I knew everything about you
    You're 5' 3" born in Carolina
    Still front pew pretty
    And Friday night free
    You're dashboard singing
    Little red Corvette
    Sweet as forgiveness
    From the moment that we met
    I Never knew I had a fighter
    I Never knew I had a fighter

    Please believe that I believe
    When I'm praying
    That you're right beside me praying
    Never knew I had a fighter Writer/s: David Nail, Scooter Carusoe, Troy Verges
