Carla B - Not a Fighter Lyrics

Still see the photos of the first life I was living
Seems like lately, the only feeling I'm giving is missing you
I'm sorry for the words I wrote about you
But because of the static it didn't all come through

And I know I know you're thankful for that
Despite all that I hid in my hat
Where I pulled out the words to describe
How falling in love made us both feel alive

So not all break ups are destined for sadness
I missed you terribly but I am filled with gladness, no more waiting
Those dreams are really just nightmares
So don't let it change you now that somebody cares

And I know l know I refused to sink
But I'm an anchor weighing myself down
Until I drown from these burdens I have made
I'm a writer, not a fighter

I'm not easily captured by the light
I guess I've never seen it burning so bright
So don't tell me I'm your everything
Cause it don't mean a thing
And I'm not falling down this time

I see the photos of the new life I'm living
For once in my life, I'll just be forgiving me
I am wise now because I know what it's like to be a fool
I am brave now because I know I have been scared
