The day I had to leave it rot and let it die
I knew you wouldn’t look for it to think it twice
And ever since, I’ve been within the fight or flight.
I thought you’d let your fears go when daylight struck
Because I did, and wouldn’t think you’d be so mean
The day I had to leave it rot and let it die.
Looked through a million perspectives with eyes wide shut
I mixed up colors, misguided thoughts, walked side to side
And ever since, I’ve been within the fight or flight.
Perhaps you read the letters from my broken heart
When I put dignity aside, I was devoured
The day I had to leave it rot and let it die.
Never knew the pain of loving someone vile
Until I got to speak to you and was unarmed
And ever since, I’ve been within the fight or flight.
Should I be grateful to you for stepping in?
For you to run like it got dark when it got deep.
The day I had to leave it rot and let it die
And ever since, I’ve been within the fight or flight.
