fight for me

If you had asked me,
"Will you fight for me?"

I would have replied,
"You want me to fight for

The nights that you left me sleepless
After long days with no texts or calls

The way you look at me when I bring it up
As if I'm a bomb that you want to detonate

The looks you give other girls at the bar
Like I'm not good enough as is

The pressure that has been put on me
To perform and praise when you never change

The early mornings waking up to more
Expectations demanded of my heart and body

The lack of care you give to my hobbies
Because I can be replaced at any time

The idea that you're the only one that
Could ever love me...

Is that what I'm fighting for?"
