It was before I closed the doors, I tried
It was before I locked them for good, yes, I’ve not lied
It’s always a mirage, that’s exactly what I find
And I’ve just added another lesson to the list and wind
up in the face of refusal, denial and rejection
Life took me through the hard path to unveil the complexion
Okay alright, I’m done, that’s all I’ve got
No more attempts, I’ll tie my hands, that was my last damn shot
I would mind my own shit
Took care of this bit and that bit
There was this one candle that I was not supposed to lit
But I’d made that mistake
That was a dangerous stake
It opened up a new space
Made me feel like I should go after it and take
Oh that face… oh that damn face
I thought I knew what was right
For that I was ready to fight
When I put my guards down got obsessed by the sight
Felt like for so long I’ve been blind
to the treasure I was meant to find
Came out of cage, out of isle
Made me feel like I’ma get wings and I’d fly
Oh that smile… oh that damn smile
If I’ma get this way
Why the universe play this game?
Why does it come so closer and then run so far away?
So I’ma leave it that way
I’ma get inside and lock myself
And no more tries, hell no, never ever again!
