The Fight – The Icarus Account

This is not a love song
I just miss you
And I’m not sad anymore
Just reminiscing

It’s been three whole years
Since we last spoke
When I was drunk at that whiskey bar
In Pittsburgh

I don’t remember much
Of what we fought about
Only stumbling off to my hotel alone

And oh, my darling
Where’d you go?
Thought the storm would pass us soon
But love’s a fight
And you took flight
Said, “I’m not worth the fight anymore.”
So tell me what was I still fighting for?

I thought I saw you at the airport
Outside the restroom, LAX, gate twenty-four
But would you still recognize my face?
I haven’t cut my hair in years, I haven’t shaved for days

The truth is I’ve been a reckless mess
I never did know who I was
Ever since you left

And oh, my darling
Where’d you go?
Thought the storm would pass us soon
But love’s a fight
And you took flight
Said, “I’m not worth the fight anymore.”
So tell me what was I still fighting for?

I heard you’re heading for the west coast
Chasing someone else you miss most
While I’m a ghost
And for my curiosity, could you explain what’s wrong with me
And why you had to leave?

And oh, my darling
Where’d you go?
Thought the storm would pass us soon
But love’s a fight
And you took flight
Said, “I’m not worth the fight anymore.”

And oh, my darling
Where’d you go?
Thought the storm would pass us soon
But love’s a fight
And you took flight
Said, “I’m not worth the fight anymore
I’m not worth the fighting anymore.”
So tell me what was I still fighting for?

This is not a love song
I don’t even miss you
I just get sad when I’m reminiscing
