Haley's New Songs

[Jastal]

I was impressed with how well this song sounded with a 50 piece orchestra, although not my preference for the EP version (not a big an of the orchestra sound). I thought her distinctive sound really came through well and I think the song is a good showcase for her as a ballad. I still love her songs the most which have a touch of scat, but you can't have everything...

So lately I've been getting a lot of requests for the lyrics to Haley's newer songs. I already have "Good or Bad" & "Lover Girl" done.

Figured next one up should be "Love is Worth Fighting For"

Haley never seems to sing a song the exact same way each time so it's a bit challenging.

The first time she ever sang it, it had a few different lyrics than her last 2 performances of it.


The Room 5 show she sang it the second time with Clare Reynolds matched the lyrics better with the Air Force band show than the time she debuted it.



I know that sometimes lyrics get changed and tweaked before they're fully recorded so I'm just gonna go with the most recent versions and how they sound.

So here was my first crack at it. It's hard for me to tell from all the videos if she says "They can't be safe" or "Can't be saved", or maybe even "can" haha.

Help me out!

Haley Reinhart Lyrics - Love is Worth Fighting For

Hold tight, mama used to say
It’s alright, no need to be afraid
Confusion is the damnedest thing
One day you’re flying, the next you’ve lost your wings

But I’m getting tired of all this fronting
It feels like I’m running on empty for nothing

Now I’m telling you, I can’t take no more
Cause I feel the weight of the world on me
Is this the truth? Is it not in vain?
Broken promises
They can’t be saved, to this day
I believe there’s no shame
Cause love is worth fighting for

When it takes you, it’s the grandest thing
It’ll make you, it can break you just the same

But I’m getting tired of all this fronting
It feels like I’m running on empty for nothing

Now I’m telling you, I can’t take no more
Cause I feel the weight of the world on me
Is this the truth? That it's not in vain
Broken promises
They can’t be saved, to this day
I believe there’s no shame
Cause love is worth, love is worth, love is worth fighting for

Tell me now
Won’t you tell me now
Oh tell me now
Can you tell me now
Oh tell me now
Is it worth the fighting for?

I’m telling you, I can’t take no more
Cause I feel the weight of the world on me
Is this the truth? That it's not in vain
Broken promises
They can’t be saved, to this day
I believe there’s no shame
Cause love is worth, love is worth, love is worth fighting for

I say love is worth, love is worth, love is worth fighting for
Love is worth, love is worth, love is worth fighting for
I say love is worth, love is worth, love is worth fighting for

^^^ I think you've got it, Rachel

Thanks Rachel for the lyrics and the video of "Love Is Worth Fighting For" with the Air Force band. I really think that LIWFF could be a game changer for Haley, if done with the right production values. The song has a great lyric and Haley sings it so powerfully and emotionally, you just get swept up in it. I am so glad the song is going to be on the EP. And it would make a good name for the EP...

Here's another one I attempted to write out the lyrics for. This one was MUCH harder. I don't think this one is going to be on the EP but people still like listening and want the lyrics.

Help me out if you see anything that should be corrected!

"Knock Me Out"

I don’t how to feel
Shake me up shake me down
Won’t be the last time
Well baby you knock me out
Say you rattle my brain
Am I mad or insane
Won’t be the last time
Well baby you knock me out

I’m sitting down wondering how
You got me running in circles
Now I can read between my left and right
And hell why should I play a part in all your silly games
I shouldn’t do it, but I do it
You make loving so fun and interesting
Cause baby baby baby

I don’t how to feel
Shake me up shake me down
Won’t be the last time
Baby you knock me out
Say you rattle my brain
Am I mad or insane
Won’t be the last time
Well baby you knock me out
Baby you knock (Won’t be the last, won’t be the last, won’t be the last time)

I take a hit of you, I’m flying now
I’m seeing things intertwined
and who’s to say my feet should touch the ground
Pick me up like a glass of wine
I play a part in all your silly games
I shouldn’t do it but I do it
You make loving so fun and interesting
Cause baby baby baby

I don’t how to feel
Shake me up shake me down
Won’t be the last time
Well baby you knock me out
Say you rattle my brain
Am I mad or insane
Won’t be the last time
Well baby you knock me out

Won’t be the last won’t be the last
Won’t be the last won’t be the last time
Baby you knock me out
Won’t be the last won’t be the last
Won’t be the last won’t be the last time
Baby you knock me out

Oh and let me be
I can barely see
Oh it’s fine with me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh and let me be
I can barely see
Oh I’m on me knees
Baby, baby, baby, please

I don’t how to feel
Shake me up shake me down
Won’t be the last time
Well baby you knock me out

Say you rattle my brain
Am I mad or insane
Won’t be the last time
Well baby you knock me out

Won’t be the last won’t be the last
Won’t be the last won’t be the last time
Baby you knock me out
Won’t be the last won’t be the last
Won’t be the last won’t be the last time
Baby you knock me out
