FLING - The Fight Lyrics

Should've known it wasn't right from the very first night
We spent more time in the dark than we did in the light
I should've spent a little more time looking in your eyes
Fighting to find what's inside
I told you I'd do this, I said I would be that
Too lost and disconnected trying to show you where I was at
Spent so long concealing what needed revealing
And dealing with healing from feeling feelings keep building

I've been running from my problems, and breaking every promise
But I promise to you mama this time I'ma keep it honest
Been selling myself short I'll stand a little taller
I only wanna be a better person by tomorrow

The sun peaks over the hill. Even when you don't see it you gotta know that you will
When it all falls down you can grow it and build, but time don't stop and there ain't no holding it still
I got the notes that you wrote me, just know that I'm holding them still
Dreams that I won't let go so easily It seems to me that you must not know
What you mean to me even when you mean to me. Never believing me or believe in me
You're down to be leaving me out at the bus stop cold then
Call me home just to jump my bones You know I love it when you crush my soul
One second I love you and I can't get enough of you I don't know what to do, I'm out of control
I run around and scour the globe. I thank God for the power I hold, now that I know

I've been running from my problems, and breaking every promise
But I promise to you mama this time I'ma keep it honest
Been selling myself short, I'll stand a little taller
I only wanna be a better person by tomorrow

One step at a time, You say I made a mess of your mind
Well, it can't be as messy as mine If we take all our problems and set em aside
I bet it could get better with time. The steeper the mountain, the better the climb
We'll level the line with incredible vibes, Our feet on the ground with our heads in the sky
As I'm learning these lessons of life I've determined that feeling's just feeling alive
Not concerned with the burdens that burdened my mind time after time after time after time
I'm back and alive, like Shaq in his prime. Ain't nobody matching with mine
If we want it, we gotta go grab it It ain't gonna happen standing at the back of the line
Racking my mind as I battle the night. Dealing with things, the absent advice
The yin and the yang, the black and the white. Unlimited strains, I pack in a pipe
Searching for change and grabbing the mic. I jump on the stage and my name is in lights
I'm embracing the pain and taming the strife because learning to do it is half of the fight

Cause learning to do it is half of the fight (half of the fight)

I've been running from my problems and breaking every promise
But I promise to you mama This time I'ma keep it honest
Been selling myself short, I'll stand a little taller
I only wanna be a better person by tomorrow

Should've known it wasn't right from the very first night
We spent more time in the dark than we did in the light
I should've spent a little more time looking in your eyes

Fighting to find what's inside.
