failed

Paul Weller

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between a rock and a carbonised tree
And everyone quite easily says, "Bye"

I banished all when I went away
I never said what I wanted to say
And every time I brought it up
I failed

I hate myself when it gets to this
I'm just a coward when it comes to it
And every time I try to reach
I fail

If everything was different now
How different would I be?
If I could change on? thing around
Would that pattern still be complet??

I banished all when I went away
I couldn't face standing there all day
Tryna think of clever things to say
I bailed

If everything was different now
How different would I be?
If I could change one thing around
Would that pattern still be complete?

What kind of person have I really been?
I never took it, I just follow a dream
And all the things I just don't get
And all the words I never meant
And all things that make no fucking sense
I failed

Oh, I failed
MM, I failed
MM, I failed
Oh, I failed
