Want Me

I have fought so long for you
Over rivers and rallies
Over mountains and cliffs
Over those who say our love is forbidden
But the greatest fight has been making you want me
The greatest fight has been keeping you
Trying to prove I am worth it
That I am good enough to fight for
But I should not have to make you want me
If you do not crave me like I crave you
Then let me go
Tell me, my heart and soul beg you
Cause I am tired 
I can not keep fighting on both sides
I would fight for our love forever 
But I can’t keep fighting for you to want you
So want me 
Or let me go

You are certainly more than "good enough to fight for". It sounds like you have already made a difficult choice.
