angel gabriel flores - the high road lyrics

[verse 1]
you slammed the door, i held my breath
a boy afraid of what comes next
the floorboards shook, the walls would bend
i prayed the night would find its end

[chorus]
and they all say, “forgive, let go
take the high road, take it slow”
but they weren’t there when the nights turned black
when a child learned not to fight back
i’ve carried this weight, i’ve carried this load
and i’m tired of walking down that road
if forgiveness makes me whole
i don’t want to take the high road

[verse 2]
you taught mе silence, taught me doubt
taught mе to keep the good love out
i’m older now, but i still hide
from open hands and open eyes

[chorus]
and they all say, “forgive, let go
take the high road, take it slow”
but they weren’t there when you raised your voice
when fear never gave me a choice
i’ve carried this weight, i’ve carried this load
and i’m tired of walking down that road
if forgiveness makes me whole
i don’t want to take the high f+ckin’ road
[chorus]
and they all say, “forgive, let go
take the high road, take it slow”
but i’m still haunted by your hands
by a boyhood i can’t understand
i’ve carried this weight, i’ve carried this load
and i’m tired of walking down that road
if forgiveness makes me seem whole
i don’t want to take the f+ckin’ high road

[outro]
blood don’t bind, it breaks, and it burns
some wounds never take their turn (oh)
and if it leaves me all alone
at least it’s not the f+ckin’ high road
