[Verse 1] Sun bleached flies sitting in the windowsill Waiting for the day they escape They talk all about that 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
[Chorus] 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, if I bend under the weight that they gave me Then this heart would break and fall as twice as far
[Verse 2] 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 can never go back home And I spend 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
[Chorus] But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me (How my daddy raised me) If they strike once then you just 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
[Bridge] If it's meant to be then it will be So I met him there and told him I believe Singing if it's meant to be then it'll be I forgive it all as it comes back to me (Back to me) If it's meant to be then it will 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 (Oh, oh) I forgive it all as it comes back to me (It 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 (Yeah) Singing if it's meant to be then it will be I forgive it all as it comes back to me (Oh)
[Outro] 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 want nowTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
