I know we talked about this,
and we agreed to just be friends,
and I don't mean to make things hard for you
by bringing it up again
but every waking minute
I still can't get you off my mind,
and no matter where I'm sleeping
I dream of you every time,
and I've been thinking about the good times,
all the smiles and laughs we've shared.
The thought of ever losing that
makes me feel so scared.
Lately you seem distant
but I hope that doesn''t last.
I don't want to ever think of you
as just somebody from my past.

[Bridge]
Because I know that you're worth fighting for.
Don't wanna disrespect you,
you turned me down once before.
But I know that you're worth figh-ting for.
You're everything I need and more.
- -
[Chorus]
So give me a chance, give me a chance.
Take a gamble on me.
I won't let you down.
I won't let you down.
Take a look at you and him now,
just think about it you'll see
he don't respect you the way he should
or love you the way I could. (Oh no)
Because I know that you're worth fighting for.
You're everything I need....
I know that you're worth fighting for!

Do you remember that day at the festival
when you first heard your song?
It was filled with raw emotion.
My feelings were so strong (and nothing's changed).
You said that you were lost for words,
that it was beautiful.
But it's nothing when compared to the girl
that it was written for.
(Ooohh) the deserts of Morocco,
the Alpine mountain dew,
the light that floods the Scottish hills
as the sun rises anew
are all but left forgotten
whenever I'm feeling blue
because the only thing I need
is just to turn and look at you

[Bridge]
and so I know that you're worth fighting for.
Don't wanna disrespect you,
you turned me down once before.
But I know that you're worth fighting for.
You're everything I want and more.
- -
[Chorus]
So give me a chance, give me a chance.
Take a gamble on me.
I won't let you down.
I won't let you down.
I sit across from you now,
I'm right where I wanna be.
You make me feel like no-one else could.
There's nobody in this world like you
and so I know that you're worth fighting for.
You're everything I want!
You're everything I need!
I know that you're worth fighting for (Ohh-oh-ohh)

[Coda (Softly)]
He's not the one for you.
Don't waste your time with him.
I swear my love for you will never fade away...
(Never fade away)
