Battles Lyrics by Columbia Mills

A Safe Distance to Watch

2017

Give me some time
I promise that I'll give you my mind
You’re still reeling from the battles you lost
From my battles I've been counting the cost
And I can see your fires burning
As the tears they warm your skin
And every corner that you're turning
Another step you take from him
And oh maybe this is nothing
And I’m a coward underneath the stairs
But my god it must be something or why would either of us still be here
These battles are all I have
And they've nothing to do with you
I understand that the light that you gave
It wasn't easy just to give it away
So you collapse at the top of the stairs
I look up wondering how you got up there
And each crime another photograph
And each line another sin
And I've tried and tried to keep up with you
But the war in you won't let me in
And now maybe you're just broken
And maybe I'm the same
And maybe our lost battles
Mean we're never gonna win again
These battles are all I have
And they’ve nothing to do with you
