Fight or flight

There are so many nights, I picture you singing from a distance

And I find myself asking why won’t she sing for me?

Then I realize Even though you have the voice of an angel,

It feels like I’ve clipped your wings

In that moment I understand how hard it is to sing through the tears i’ve made you cry. I should’ve listened to what you were missing,

see what I was missing

I’m not trying to contain you or keep you from your dreams I just want to be there when you take flight

and lift you up when you’re to tired to fly

But, I understand now how hard it is to sing through the tears i’ve made you cry. I should’ve listened to what you were missing,

see what I was missing

The battles I’ve fought are not your fault, but my silence passed on to you as blame

but you’ve always been my angel,

my saving grace whether you know it or

it goes unspoken you’ve saved me from myself so many times now

but all I’ve done is made you feel so alone

I understand now how hard it is to sing through the tears i’ve made you cry. I should’ve listened to what you were missing,

See what I was missing

rather than getting lost in my own misery.

I’m tired of fighting myself, when all I want is to fight for you

But I understand now how hard it is to sing through the tears i’ve made you cry.

I should’ve listened to what you were missing,

see what I was missing

All I’m asking is for one last chance to fight for you

Fight beside you

But I understand now how hard it is to sing through the tears i’ve made you cry.

Won’t you sing for me my angel so I can watch you take flight?
