Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sun bleached flies sitting in the windowsill

Waiting for the day they escape

They talk all about their money, and how

Their babies are always changing while they're

Breathing in the poison of the paint

[Verse 2]

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 3]

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

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 will be

I forgive it all as it comes back to me

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 will be

I forgive it all as it comes back to me

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 will be

I forgive it all as it comes back to me

[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 now
