Appears On
Lyrics
Should have gone differently
Is what I often say
Looking at myself above the bathroom sink
For every closing door
There's one opening
Everything comes down to that thin subtlety
They say persistence gets attractive
The more you show
Amazing how much effort goes into letting go
There should have been more applause
For all the risk I take
A master knows how far to push once they commit
I know what I got is good
A fresh approach I think
But damn, it'd be so good if someone else agreed
They say a failure is only real if no one learns
But such a costly education
In flames and burns
