Puttin' Up A Fight

from This Album Is About Heartbreak by Matt Walden

/

lyrics

In another cafe in the rain on the boulevard
I can’t help but still see your face

Still salty bout the unread text from the month before
I can’t help but feel like I’ve been replaced

Oh does he text you good mornin?
Does he text you good night?
Do you show him your outfits?
Does he think that it’s tight?

Does he buy you a coffee?
Does he take you for drinks?
Are you blinded by lust?
Or do you care what he thinks?

But I’m back to the seat I’ve been sitting in
The new barista winks and I’m listenin'

She said I can tell that you’re sad
I can see it in your eyes
Yeah you're sitting there coffee cold, staring at the sky

I won’t ask what’s wrong,
Cuz I don’t know what’s right
Oh life’s too short so keep putting up a fight like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine
Keep puttin' up a fight like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine

Suns up now I’m walking these streets
Things are looking up
Finally got a smile on my face

Headed downtown
I need to get a drink to celebrate
Oh that’s when I see her look my way

Oh could I text her good morning?
Would she text me good night?
Maybe take her for coffee?
Learn the places she likes

Show her off to my parents
Wait I’m getting to ahead
Are these thoughts all intrusive?
I’d really like her in my bed like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine
Keep puttin' up a fight like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine

Hey, uh

I guess this is moving on
I can see the light
The bitterness is gone
And love is on my mind

This is moving on
I can see the light
The bitterness is gone
Love is, love is on my mind

Love is on my mind
(Love is on my mind)

She said I’d text you good mornin
Said I'd text you goodnight
Trade you a coffee tomorrow for a drink tonight

You’re looking better already
Had a feeling you might
I’m really glad that you made it
So let’s have a good time like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine
Keep puttin' up a fight like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine
I keep puttin' up a fight
