Fly Lyrics

(You see here kid, you gotta just go for it

Don't think about what comes after or what came before

You just gotta bend your knees, take a deep breath, and jump

And you might think, what if I fall

Well, what if you don't? What if you fly?)

Been around here too long, by a couple days

You don't know anymore, saw it in your face

Was it something I said, or I didn't say

It's been stuck in my head, the things you never said

And I can smile 'cuz it's self made

I didn't need nobody's help, no aid

I can write a love song, serenade

Then make a beat and talk my shit, shade

I used to sit in my room and just pray that someday

I would grow past being afraid, that I could

Find a way to persuade myself a life without the fears and doubts could be great, I was

So scared I would make a mistake, and though late I learned there's no point

Fighting with fate, 'cuz once you see the truth, man it's hard to debate

And no hate, but this time I'm not taking the bait, it gets

So hard to remember what I'm made for

I miss the days when living didn't feel like a chore

I'm stuck, fight or flight it's psychological

The only medicine that works is philosophical

Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle

I'm still trying to get the note out the bottle

Signs come to me in real life but I miss 'em

Sometimes he visits me in dreams and I really miss him

I never thought I'd have nothing to say to you

But I'm thankful for all that you put me through

For the PTSD from that night at home

I spent the whole night upstairs crying alone

I heard you with her in the room both off a tab

Fake love and artificial drugs made in a lab

And then that night on that couch drunk off your ass

Swear I never felt my heart beat so fast

Kept my eyes forward but I could still hear the gasps

Anyway, I'm not trying to dig up the past

You took my worst fears, brought 'em to life

You killed the old me just so I could see the light, so thank you

You taught me unconditional love

'Cuz I could hate you forever, or I could rise above
