I took a shot of you, you never tasted better than now
I think about all that you did that made me furrow my brow
They seemed so harmless at the time, I was entrenched in your vow
Thought you were the prize, but I’m the one you got on discount
The wise man is the one who held his tongue, said nothing at all,
Which one said you’re the sharpest knife in the drawer? I can’t recall,
How much is in the tank to live, to fight, to dream, scrape and claw?
In the way, but at the end of the day, it’s nothing but a wall
It takes a chance to reach a higher plane, it's what I call grace
I took a chance with you, was really like a leap of faith
(Chorus synching with my voice in background) When the going gets on going, there’s no need to save face
What’s a scar without the lessons and the memories you made?
It’s not that easy being a black sheep in a flock full of gray
Can it change? Don’t think so, oh it sounds so plain anyways
The tears that stained the base of my heart dried up like a desert
An angel shouldn’t compensate for love, it’s not what they deserve
The words go in one ear and out the other, just what I heard
So go on fly away, just fly, so high, to the sky, oh little bird
It takes a chance to reach a higher plane, it's what I call grace
I took a chance with you, was really like a leap of faith
When the going gets on going, there’s no need to save face
What’s a scar without the pain and the memories you made?
Emotion only works when you wear it on your sleeve
My feelings spiral, ideas branch off the trunk of my mind’s tree
It wasn’t in the contract you signed, when you adjoined with me
I sense resilience in you, now come on don’t get up and leave
Is it my maturity that flushes your face red
Better yet, I bet it’s my words better left unsaid
