Fight Test Lyrics

I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue
in always being cool.

So when it came time to fight,
I thought 'I'll just step aside',
and that the time would prove you wrong
and that you were the fool.

I don't know where the sunbeams end
or the starlight begins, it's all a mystery.

Oh, to fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when
would be the time that you would
stand up and be a man.

For, to lose, I could accept,
but to surrender I just wept
and regretted this moment.
Oh, and that I was the fool.

I don't know where the sunbeams end
or the starlight begins, it's all a mystery.
And I don't know how a man decides
what's right for his own life, it's all a mystery.

'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
and there are things you can't avoid.
You have to face them
when you're not prepared to face them.

If I could, I would
but you're with him now, it'd do no good.
I should have fought him but instead,
I let him, let him take it.

I don't know where the sunbeams end
or the starlight begins, it's all a mystery.
And I don't know how a man decides
what's right for his own life, it's all a mystery.

(Break)

I don't know where the sunbeams end
or the starlight begins, it's all a mystery.
And I don't know how a man decides
what's right for his own life, it's all a mystery.

Mystery...
