Prompt / Lyrics
[vocal improvisation recommended] Okay (One, two) I could let it fade, baby You could spin it into gold I could take the blame You could turn cold Was it something she meant? Maybe something he planned I could bite my tongue, play pretend If it’s heavy, baby You should say it out clear It’s not defeat when you shift your gear If you’re aiming for that high ground I can tell that you’ve lost your way There’s a cleaner cut to the silence ’Cause you’ve been dodging this truth for days, too many days Did you drop that weight? Did you call her late? Did she twist that knife, make you hesitate Were they tying you tight? Was he picking that fight? Did they leave you cracked but you’re acting alright If it’s heavy, baby You should say it out clear It’s not defeat when you shift your gear If you’re aiming for that high ground I can tell that you’ve lost your way There’s a cleaner cut to the silence ’Cause you’ve been dodging this truth for days, oh So you wanna sketch a portrait Of every tiny scar I made Now you’re climbing up the high ground ’Cause the path you chose won’t fade (won’t fade) Is it really that easy, baby? You should say it out clear It’s not defeat when you shift your gear If you’re aiming for that high ground I can tell that you’ve lost your way There’s a cleaner cut to the silence ’Cause you’ve been dodging this truth for days So you wanna sketch a portrait Of every tiny scar I made Now you’re climbing up the high ground ’Cause the path you chose won’t fade Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh If it’s heavy, baby You should say it out clear It’s not defeat when you shift your gear If you’re aiming for that high ground I can tell that you’ve lost your way There’s a cleaner cut to the silence Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh If it’s heavy, baby You should say it out clear It’s not defeat when you shift your gear If you’re aiming for that high ground I can tell that you’ve lost your way There’s a cleaner cut to the silence
