Ready To Lose

Lyrics: It's time. Breathing in for the first time in years Drying my eyes from well-spent tears I will arise, no longer sleep / The time is drawing near Just finished bandaging this broken heart Now how much more can I take All roads before me lead straight to pain I can't help but dream of your fate Fear before, and fear behind / Spread out to every corner of my mind So afraid of driving you away / The terror drove me blind But if there's any hope for you, and any real help I'll have to fight you, to fight you for your self The time has come for me to stand right in your way Before the gates of hell I'm ready to fight [ready to fight] Ready to lose [ready to lose] I'm ready to fight you [fight you] for you Oh raise your blade now as we square off in the dust Let my aim be true and I'll do what I must Faithful are the wounds of a true friend, you see And a risk not taken is a chain not cut I know you're settled, and I know you don't believe These years you've memorized your part But if there's only one thing that could make me risk it all It's that my God can start your heart I wasn't ready to fight for you / 'Cause I was too afraid to lose But I have come to face the truth / That it was not my right to choose Now I can never hold you closer / Unless I can let you go I wasn't ready to fight for you / 'Cause I was too afraid to lose But I have come to face the truth / That it was not my right to choose I'm ready to fight [ready to fight] Ready to lose [ready to lose] I'm ready to fight you [fight you] for you Now every road has its own hurt / But some do not end there If there's a chance that I might carry you away Then I will not despair Won't bide my time / Won't just survive I'm ready to fight you / Fight you for your life Won't bide my time / Won't just survive I'm ready to fight you / Fight you for your life
