Lyrics
I don't fight
I avoid conflict
Never liked drama in my life
I've never enjoyed unnecessary drama
Sometimes I flight
Sometimes I choose to escape or avoid
I believe
I have faith
We can find ways to understand
I believe there are ways to reach mutual understanding
Heart on my sleeve
I openly express my emotions
You've got the sweetest way of lifting me up
Your support uplifts me in a wonderful manner
I've never stood so tall
I've never felt so confident or self-assured
But you've got the coldest way of bringing me down
However, your negative actions bring me down without saying a word
With no words at all
Your silence has a powerful impact on me
So I'll stand out in the road 'til we're at peace again
I am willing to wait for resolution and peace
I'll run the taxi meter 'til we're home and then
I'll continue to endure difficulties until we are home and safe
As you pick up your weapon in the argument
Even in a disagreement, as you prepare for confrontation
I'll lay mine down but white flags on the door frame
I'll surrender my weapons and seek reconciliation
Aftermath
After the conflict
Try to let go but it's the past that pulls me back
I try to move on, but the past keeps pulling me back
Choose your words
Be mindful of your words
I shouldn't take them to my heart, that's where it hurts
I shouldn't let them deeply affect me, as that's where it hurts
But I'm not the first
I am not the first to experience this
You've got the sweetest way of lifting me up
Your support continues to lift me emotionally
I've never stood so tall
I've never felt so empowered
But you've got the coldest way of bringing me down
However, your negative actions have a chilling effect on me
With no words at all
Your silence is powerful in bringing me down
So I'll stand out in the road 'til we're at peace again
I am committed to seeking peace even if it means waiting in the road
I'll run the taxi meter 'til we're home and then
I'll endure challenges until we reach our safe haven
As you pick up your weapon in the argument
As you prepare for conflict
I'll lay mine down, put white flags on the door frame
I'll disarm myself and display symbols of peace
So I'll stand out in the road 'til we're at peace again
Reiterating the commitment to stand for peace
I'll run the taxi meter 'til we're home and then
Continuing to face challenges until we find peace
As you pick up your weapon in the argument
As you gear up for confrontation
I'll lay mine down, put white flags on the door frame
I'll surrender my weapons and seek reconciliation again
So I'll stand out in the road 'til we're at peace again
Reaffirming the commitment to seek peace
I'll run the taxi meter 'til we're home and then
Continuing to face challenges until we are at peace
As you pick up your weapon in the argument
As you prepare for conflict once more
I'll lay mine down, put white flags on the door frame
I'll lay down my weapons and display symbols of peace again
So I'll stand out in the road 'til we're at peace again
Reiterating the commitment to stand for peace once again
I'll run the taxi meter 'til we're home and then
Continuing to endure challenges until we find peace again
As you pick up your weapon in the argument
As you gear up for confrontation again
I'll lay mine down, put white flags on the door frame
I'll surrender my weapons and seek reconciliation once more
