Fight or Flight Lyrics by ​cannibal (UK)

Fight or Flight - single

2020

[Verse]
You deserve the world
I guess I couldn't bring it to you
Given it a whirl
And now it's time to think things through
And I wish it wasn’t all so complex
And I wish I didn’t say it if it didn't make sense
I've ruined it again
But I secretly wanted to
[Chorus]
I've got a mechanism
That makes me wanna run
I've got an instinct
That kicks in when I'm with someone
I've gotta keep him away from me
I've got a mechanism
It's called fight or flight
And when you get near
I disappear sometimes
Completely
And I wish that you were here
But I don't know why you would be
No I don't know why you would bе
[Verse]
Say it to your face
I couldn't bring myself to you
Waste of spacе
The universe will thank me when we’re all doomed
And I wish it wasn’t all so, so sad
And I wish I had a reason for acting like that
But there's no excuse
And I think you always knew
[Chorus]
I've got a mechanism
That makes me wanna run
I've got an instinct
That kicks in when I'm with someone
I've gotta keep him away from me
I've got a mechanism
It's called fight or flight
And when you get near
I disappear sometimes
Completely
And I wish that you were here
But I don't know why you would be
No I don't know why you would be
[Bridge]
And I wish it hadn't ended so bad
And I know I took for granted all that we had
And there's no excuse
But I’ll always regret you
[Chorus, acapella]
I've got a mechanism
That makes me wanna run
I've got an instinct
That kicks in when I'm with someone
I've gotta keep him away from me
[Chorus, guitar rejoins]
I've got a mechanism
That makes me wanna run
I've got an instinct
That kicks in when I'm with someone
I've gotta keep him away from me
I've got a mechanism
It's called fight or flight
And when you get near
I disappear sometimes
Completely
And I wish that you were here
But I don't know why you would be
No I don't know why you would be
[Outro]
Don't know why you would
Don't know why you would be
And I wish that you were here
But I don't know why you would be
