Fight Your Fears

(album: MacBeth - 2015)

Yeah

Remember when you told me that you wouldn't first night
And I said that I respect it but it felt so right, but we did it
It's different from like e'ry other time
That we ever met somebody underneath the city lights
You agreed, it's been me and you since then
It's been hotter than we thought it would being just friends
You would come to my apartment and lie your ass on the carpet
And talk bout how you got started taking classes in college
And I would listen for as long as I could
Couple minutes and reminders why I mention I'm good
I'm underneath the palm trees thinking 'bout you
Getting caught up in the rain back home in Vancouver
I been out here, you been at home
Wonder if you even think about me at all
I wanna do it properly and get you some property
Before we started getting happily and it ended all awfully
I never met another model so in love with breaking mirrors
It was a troubled adolescent years
I used to ask her if she wanted to hear the truth
I said you know I love you but I cannot fight your fears for you

I can't fight your fears for you
I can't fight your fears for you
I can't fight your fears for you
I can't fight your fears for you
I can't fight your fears for you

I can't fight your fears for you
Even though I would kill for you
But I keep it real with you
Tell you when you want women
I can't fight your battles
There's some places you must travel on your own
But I love you when you come home

We're getting through everything and we still going through it
I done did everything but I'm still gon' do it
I been shot through the heart but I know she still gon' shoot it
And her heart ain't broken no more but I'm still gon' glue it back together
'Til we're back together 'til we not together
Then we back together in this motherfucker
Making love and reservations without any reservations
'Bout the shit that we were doing separated, that's the realness
Fuck how I feel shit, [?] way to goddamn much to let it out, kill this
Swear to God you would come around and hang out in the kitchen
While I tried to make some fancy shit for dinner on a budget
I'd say "sorry, you'd say "fuck it", we never worried about money
We were drinking the cheapest wine and in fact we loved it
Maybe we just loved each other as much as we said
It was always me and you, and the world we up against
I never met another girl I'd like to change for but make love on the same floor
We were [?] for the last week or two
You said you wanted help but I said I can't fight your fears for you

I can't fight your fears for you
I can't fight your fears for you
I can't fight your fears for you
I can't fight your fears for you
I can't fight your fears for you

I can't fight your fears for you
Even though I would kill for you
But I keep it real with you
Tell you when you want women
I can't fight your battles
There's some places you must travel on your own
But I love you when you come home again
