Both Sides Of a Smile (feat. James Blake)

And then, the finer details, who's your Juliet?

What's the dynamic in the situation between the two leads?

You know, I guess we're all just

We're all just looking for a happy ending somewhere

Babe, it's okay (it's okay)

I don't care if no one knows my name

Pain, it's all the same (all the same)

Even if you think it's all in vain

'Cause now you're turning her into a rose

Into a rose, into a rose, oh-oh

Into a rose, into a rose, into a rose

Oh, could we let it slide?

Looking back it ain't last

The future's just a lie

We'll be there in a night

We're both sides of a smile

Yeah

You keep the bread all to yourself and you get mold from it

You give a good girl a rose and you get gold from it

Have a child with a rat and you'll get a mouse from it

You give a woman a brick and you'll get a house from it

The first time splittin' up always the hardest thing

Love's a film and I'm just flickin' through the parts I'm in

I told her: I don't wanna argue in this car I'm in

And that's when she hit me with a

Well, I don't get why you would tell me you want me to be your wifey

When you wanna be Romeo, have me here for the rodeo

I don't believe you when you gas me up and hype me

'Cause you're lustin'

And these women you're fuckin' look nothin' like me, David

You find asylum in the countries that you fly me

And carry all of your guilt in designers bags that you buy me, David

I ain't askin' you to be someone you wasn't

I just wanna fuck with the person I fell in love with, but uh

Petite waist, sweet face, I'll find another man

You must have forgotten who the fuck I am

There's plenty niggas waitin' for chances

Ask me if I'm taken, I say: Taken for granted

But you know this already

'Cause we've spoken already

Want me to wait 'cause you ain't ready

Now we're both in our twenties

I'd date a man before I wait for a man

This ends here

'Cause I'll be damned if I give a fucking loser my best years

Got my own car, own money and my own body

If I show body, this for me, this ain't for nobody

I'ma change the lock on the door, think I'm a homebody?

You won't have a house to fucking live in

'Cause you taught me you don't listen

There's a difference in mistakes and in decisions, David

The first time was the worst time

It didn't hurt like the second or the third time

She put her life on pause

'Cause now you're turning her into a rose

Into a rose, into a rose, oh-oh

Into a rose, into a rose, into a rose

Oh, could we let it slide?

Looking back at our lives

The future's just a lie

We'll be there in a night

On both sides of a smile

Yeah

I just came to the area I grew up in

And they can't even see the car but from the engine

They know it's me

From no fix to bow to the coast of Greece

I'm most at home in the places I ain't supposed to be

I grew up seeing mummy count pennies

Tryna buy a train ticket but forget sayin' woe is me

Now I'm in la with the open sea

They both feel like things I wasn't supposed to see

Used to be my post, we was close

Now we argue to the rhythm of a broken beat

To the beat of a broken heart

Napoleon Bonaparte meets Joan of Arc

(Sh) we're both fightin' the sea, this is noah's ark

We're lovers with a broken past, grow apart

Most things that last have the slowest start

A lotta pain and a lotta tears

The only reason that I lie is 'cause of what I fear

My girl knows that I'm a fan of charity

But there's some information

I ain't never gonna volunteer

I wish that I could pay for my sins with a lump sum

Restore her belief in me with a trust fund

The money can't buy nothing when the love's done

I used to cheat with Americans for a living

I felt nervous every time

I got a call from a plus one

It takes years to build when you love one

Two and half minutes and it's undone

Bought my girl a Birkin

And she told me that these bitches can't chat to her

I'm tellin' her they never could

You know you love her when you're doin' shit you never would

Come up off the drugs and bank scams

How the fuck you think I got the name Santan?

Run up on me and get a skin tan

Only when you're gone they feel your impact

Nineteen, I had dreams of a wedding ring

So focused on running our race

You can ask James Blake, I ain't see the color in anything

And then the world got darker than it's ever been

Real estate, I buss a smile

International, that's how I'm comin' now

Mortgage on the yard like twenty-two hundred

But the rent's got it covered by a country mile

Feels like my luck's been runnin' out

It feels like my luck's been runnin' out

Feels like my luck's been runnin' out

It feels like my luck's been runnin' out

It feels like my luck's been runnin' out

Oh, oh, oh

It feels like my luck's been runnin' out

Oh, oh, oh

It feels like my luck's been runnin' out

Oh, oh, oh

(It feels like my luck's been)

Oh, oh, oh

It feels like my luck's been runnin' out

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
