Sun Bleached Flies

Sun-bleached flies sitting in the windowsill Waiting for the day they'll escape They talk all about their money and how their babies are always changing While they're breathing in the poison of the pain What I wouldn't give to be in church this Sunday Listening to the choir so heartfelt, all singing "God loves you, but not enough to save you "So, baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself" So I said fine, 'cause that's how my daddy raised me If they strike once, then you just hit 'em twice as hard But in the end, the fire bent under the weight that they gave me And this heart would break and fall as twice as far We all know how it goes The more it hurts, the less it shows But I still feel like they all know And that's why I could never go back home And I spent my life Watching it go by from the sidelines And God, I've tried But I think it's about time I put up a fight But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me If they strike once, then you just hit 'em twice as hard (hit 'em twice as hard) But I always knew that, in the end, no one was coming to save me So I just prayed, and I keep praying and praying and praying If it's meant to be, then it will be (oh-oh, oh-oh) So I met him there and told him I believe (oh-oh, oh-oh) Singing if it's meant to be, then it'll be (it'll be) I forgive it all as it comes back to me (back to me, oh) If it's meant to be, then it will be (oh, it will be, yeah) So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah) Singing, "If it's meant to be, then it will be" I forgive it all as it comes back to me (it all comes back to me) If it's meant to be, then it'll be (it'll be, it'll be, it'll be) So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah) Singing, "If it's meant to be, then it will be" And I forgive it all as it comes back to me I'm still praying for that house in Nebraska By the highway, out on the edge of town Dancing with the windows open I can't let go when something's broken It's all I know and it's all I wanna know
