Fighting songs

[LittleBritishPhoenix]

I apologise if this has already been done! But I couldn’t find one and was inspired by the recent threads about songs that remind us of them.

So what are your fight songs? The ones that life you up and make you feel amazing?

My top one – I’m taking it back and owning it. Foo Fighters – The Pretender.

“What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays? You’re the pretender. What if I say I will never surrender?”

Gloria Gaynor I WILL SURVIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Healthyarchive]

I had a physical abuser (detail removed by moderator) i sang I Will Survive over and over again to myself, it got me through, he was an a**hole!

[LittleBritishPhoenix]

I’ve just started singing that in my head now…what a song! 🙂

When my boy goes to school I’m going to have you youtube that and belt it out 😀

Have seen you’ve been having a rough time lately Healthyarchive, hope today is a better day, sending love. x

“Running Up That Hill”

“If I only could, I’d be running up that hill.
If I only could, I’d be running up that hill.”

It doesn’t hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn’t hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I’m making?
You, it’s you and me.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh…

You don’t want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I’m tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don’t we?
You, it’s you and me.
It’s you and me won’t be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh…

You,
It’s you and me,
It’s you and me won’t be unhappy.

“C’mon, baby, c’mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C’mon, angel, c’mon, c’mon, darling,
Let’s exchange the experience, oh…”

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems…

“If I only could, I’d be running up that hill.
If I only could, I’d be running up that hill.”

[Serenity]

Stronger

“You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you’ve had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I’d come running back
Baby you don’t know me, cause you’re dead wrong

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.”

[LittleBritishPhoenix]

Both beautiful songs 🙂 🙂

Such perfect lyrics!

[LittleBritishPhoenix]

I like this one aswell…it’s a bit more of a raaahhhh song.

“Had Enough”

Milk it for all it’s worth.
Make sure you get there first.
The apple of your eye.
The rotten core inside.
We are all prisoners.
Things couldn’t get much worse.
I’ve had it up to here, you know your end is near.

Destiny’s Child – Survivor

“Now that you’re out of my life
I’m so much better
You thought that I’d be weak without you
But I’m stronger
You thought that I’d be broke without you
But I’m richer
You thought that I’d be sad without you
I laugh harder

Seriously, this song could not be any more relavant to me at this point in my life.

[LittleBritishPhoenix]

We got moderated? Were the lyrics too “fight”-ey? :/

[Lisa]

Hi Little British Phoenix,

I love this thread and find it really inspiring sadly I have to moderate due to copyright law… The title of the song or a few lines is fine but a substantial amount is a breach of copyright on a public forum.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best wishes,

Oops, sorry, will keep it short 🙂

When I get over you, Randy Crawford

[LittleBritishPhoenix]

Jamelia – Thank you.

The fights, those nights
I tried to pretend it don’t hurt
The way, I prayed
Someday that you would love me
Really, completely
Just how I wanted it to be
But no, so wrong
Can’t believe I stayed with you so long

You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me,
You stole, you broke, you’re cold
You’re such a joke to me,
For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you

CHRISTINA AGUILERA – “Can’t Hold Us Down”

“…This is for my girls all around the world
Who’ve come across a man who don’t respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout out loud!
Letting them know we’re gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave them proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can’t hold us down …”

[Whathaveidone]

Beyonce – Me, Myself and I

“I can’t believe I believed
Everything we had would last
So young and naive for me to think
She was from your past
Silly of me to dream of
One day having your kids
Love is so blind
It feels right when it’s wrong

I can’t believe I fell for your schemes
I’m smarter than that
So young and naive to believe that with me
You’re a changed man… “

[Millionpieces]

Hi I just find this to day.
Stitches by Shawn Mendes

[AceGracie5]

Titanium – David Guetta and Sia

“You shout it out,
But I can’t hear a word you say
I’m talking loud, not saying much
I’m criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up

I’m bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won’t fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won’t fall
I am titanium”

[AceGracie5]

My other fave:-

Roar – Katy Perry

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

Great thread Phoenix 💖

Mine is (SOMETHING INSIDE) SO STRONG by Labi Siffre

Wonderful lyrics 😊 xx

[LittleBritishPhoenix]

Swallow I haven’t heard that song in so many years!! 🙂

Something inside so strong, I know that I can make it. Though you’re doing me wrong so wrong, thought that my pride was gone, Oh no, something inside so strong. There’s something inside so strong. <3

[feelinglost]

Emeli Sandě read all about it part 3

You’ve got the words to change a nation
But you’re biting your tongue
You’ve spent a life time stuck in silence
Afraid you’ll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?

So come on, come on
Come on, come on

You’ve got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed?
Maybe we’re a little different
There’s no need to be ashamed
You’ve got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away

Come on, come on

Feeling lost – I love that 🙂

[NotCrazy]

I love listening to music, it really helps get through those rubbish days 🙂

Katy Perry – By The Grace of God

Thought I wasn’t enough
Found I wasn’t so tough
Laying on the bathroom floor
We were living on a fault line
And I felt the fault was all mine
Couldn’t take it anymore

By the grace of God
There was no other way
I picked myself back up
I knew I had to stay
I put one foot in front of the other
And I looked in the mirror
And decided to stay
Wasn’t gonna let love take me out that way

I know I am enough
Possible to be loved

Also, Alanis Morisette, That I would be good

that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy

that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you

and Taylor Swift, Dear John

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps,
Praying the floor won’t fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind,
But I swore I was fine, you paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game,
But you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight, well I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why

Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress, cried the whole way home, I should’ve known

Well maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it’s you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you’ll add my name to your long list of traitors who don’t understand
And I’ll look back and regret how I ignored when they said “run as fast as you can”

Katy Perry – Hot n Cold

“You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you P.M.S.
Like a girl
I would know
And you over-think
Always speak cryptically
I should know
That you’re no good for me”

[Whathaveidone]

Roll It Gal – Alison Hinds

“…Independent and ya strong gal
And you set di pace
Fit and healthy living long gal

Free yourself gal, you got class and you got pride
Come together cause we stronger unified”

[Anonymous]

Alanis Morissette- Uninvited and Katy Perry – Rise

[Positiveandlookingahead]

I love these when I left him my mum used to come into my bedroom and sing and dance to Heather small I’m moving on up lol

[KIP.]

The Communards – Leaving

Like the knife of a thief that’s held close to the throat
I’m threatened by you and the cruel way you gloat
You once turned me on, now all it seems so remote
You broke me in pieces, you cherished each blow;
The harder you hit me, the stronger I grow

I’ve had all I can take

Warrior by Demi Lovato

Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I’m not broken or bruised

‘Cause now I’m a warrior
Now I’ve got thicker skin
I’m a warrior
I’m stronger than I’ve ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can’t get in
I’m a warrior
And you can never hurt me

Sorry Lyrics

Je suis désolé
Lo siento
Ik ben droevig
Sono spiacente
Perdóname

I’ve heard it all before, I’ve heard it all before

I’ve heard it all before, I’ve heard it all before

I’ve heard it all before, I’ve heard it all before
I’ve heard it all before, I’ve heard it all before
I’ve heard it all before, I’ve heard it all before
I’ve heard it all before, I’ve heard it all before
I’ve heard it all before, I’ve heard it all before
I’ve heard it all before, I’ve heard it all before

I don’t wanna hear
I don’t wanna know
Please don’t say you’re sorry
I’ve heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don’t wanna hear
I don’t wanna know
Please don’t say ‘forgive me’
I’ve seen it all before
And I can’t take it anymore

You’re not half the man you think you are
Save your words because you’ve gone too far
I’ve listened to your lies and all your stories
(I’ve listened to your stories)
You’re not half the man you’d like to be
