Fighting For Us, Fighting For Your Love Baby
by Remona Zafra
Lyrics
Intro
(Piano plays slow, broken notes; voice barely above a whisper, like holding back sobs)
“Robert Insley… my baby… please… just listen to me…”
Verse 1
Robert, my baby, can I ask you why
You’re slipping further away, when I’ve given you every part of my life?
For eleven years we walked through fire and storm
Held each other close when the world felt torn
We faced every test they ever gave us
Our love was strong — we always did our best, didn’t we baby?
I laid down my guard, I gave you my all
Now I feel you fading, and I don’t know how to stop it at all
Chorus
Robert, my love, please come back home
You’re all I want, you’re all I’ve ever known
In the morning light, in the dark night’s roam
It’s your heart, your love, I am fighting for
Robert, my love, please come back to me
You’re the only home my heart will ever see
Through every quiet hour, every shadow drawn
I’m fighting for us — please don’t be gone
Verse 2
I can feel the shift, I see you pull away
Your words cut deeper than I know how to say
I don’t ask for much — just please don’t go
I need you here, I need you to know
There’s no lie in my heart, no secret I hide
Every beat in my chest belongs by your side
You are my forever, my guiding light
The only truth that makes this life feel right
Chorus
Robert, my love, please come back home
You’re all I want, you’re all I adore
In the morning light, when night does roam
It’s your heart, your love, I am fighting for
Robert, my love, please come back to me
You’re the only home my heart will ever see
Through every quiet hour, every shadow drawn
I’m fighting for us — please don’t be gone
Verse 3
Eleven years baby — eleven years of us
Of picking each other up when things got too much
How can we let this slip through our hands now?
When we built something no one else could allow?
I see the distance growing between us now
And it breaks me down, it tears me out
I’ve got nothing left but this honest plea
Please remember what you mean to me
Bridge
(Voice breaks, softens, sounds like crying quiet)
I don’t want anyone else — I never have
I don’t want a future that you don’t have
I can’t imagine days without your hand in mine
Without your laugh, without your gentle sign
If I’ve hurt you, tell me — I’ll fix every part
Just don’t shut me out, don’t break my heart
I’m still here baby — I’m still fighting hard
For the love that brought us this far
Final Chorus
(Music swells, full of raw, desperate love)
Robert, my love, please come back home
You’re all I want, you’re all I adore
In the morning light, when night does roam
It’s your heart, your love, I am fighting for
I feel the change in you, I see you slipping away
Your words cut deep, but I need you to stay
Truth in my heart is all I have inside
You are my forever, my love, my guide
Robert, my love, please come back home
You’re all I want, you’re all I adore
In the morning light, when night does roam
It’s your heart, my love — I’m fighting for
Outro
(Music fades to single soft piano note; voice almost silent, trembling)
Come back to me…
Robert Insley… my baby… my one true love…
I’m still here…
I’m still fighting for you…
Last note holds, then fades slow 💔
