shifting states
I'm a deer caught in the headlights again
my insecurities flay me open
and here I am starting fights
where fights don't belong
You meet my fire with more flames
and in seconds we're an inferno
destroying everything
that gets in our way
including each other
until one of us walks away
(usually me)
and we lick our wounds
in the ashes
trying to figure out
what went wrong
It's not our fault
no one taught us how to communicate
but it's our fault we don't fix
the cracks we always fall through
when life punches us harder
than we can punch it back
I'm a deer caught in the headlights again
my insecurities flay me open
and here I am starting fights
where fights don't belong
And I'm waiting for the day
when you don't forgive me
but perhaps you're just
as addicted to this pain as I am
I'm a deer caught in the headlights again
Today I forgive me
My insecurities flay me open
I forgive you too
my insecurities flay me open
and here I am starting fights
where fights don't belong
You meet my fire with more flames
and in seconds we're an inferno
destroying everything
that gets in our way
including each other
until one of us walks away
(usually me)
and we lick our wounds
in the ashes
trying to figure out
what went wrong
It's not our fault
no one taught us how to communicate
but it's our fault we don't fix
the cracks we always fall through
when life punches us harder
than we can punch it back
I'm a deer caught in the headlights again
my insecurities flay me open
and here I am starting fights
where fights don't belong
And I'm waiting for the day
when you don't forgive me
but perhaps you're just
as addicted to this pain as I am
I'm a deer caught in the headlights again
Today I forgive me
My insecurities flay me open
I forgive you too
