Cover art for The Resisted lyrics by Birds Fled From Me

Please don't stand like that, my eyes ache in your direction. And when you are close my hands tremble to touch. You said "Here, put your arm on my shoulder," and you carried me down from that great, great height.

And oh, I resisted. How I resisted. I should've kissed you when I had the chance. But I dug my heals so deep, you could see me shaking, yeah.

I forget to breathe. I am scared in the air around you. I feel guilty for how much I crave. Oh no, I know what this is. This is one of those sick obsessions, that has me closing my eyes so I can dream.

And oh, I resisted. Believe me, I resisted. You should have left me where you found me on that great big rock, so I could wait it out.

Run my fingers on a glass lip. And oh, how these things are all filled with you now. And you are completely oblivious, or at least that's what I'll tell myself because I know, because I know.

And oh, I resisted. Believe me, I resisted. I should've kissed you when I had the chance. But I dug my heals so deep, you could see me shaking. Kissed you when I had the chance. Wait it out, wait it out again. You should have left me where you found me, because you're moving on, moving on again.
