Paroles: Markus Fagervall. Steal My Melody. Close But No Cigar.

All my life?s been a mess, it's like I always end up
two minutes late and a dollar short
I've had some fun on the way but I've come to the end of the rope
cause I pulled and tore apart my bootstraps

How come I don't know what to do

I ran into the sand
When I was trying to chase down the rainbow
Just castles in the air
I'm circling the drain, a bitter pill to swallow
I?m a fool who thought that I could win
It?s been really close but no cigar

I hate being told what to do or what to say or think
I?ve been lead up to the garden path before
I'm not gonna act like it's fine to set the alarm every night
hoping some day it won't go off no more

How come I don't know what to do

I ran into the sand
When I was trying to chase down the rainbow
Just castles in the air
I'm circling the drain, a bitter pill to swallow
I?m a fool who thought that I could win
It?s been really close but no cigar

I think It?s better for me just to walk away
Than keep being beat down cause it happens everyday

I ran into the sand
When I was trying to chase down the rainbow
Just castles in the air
I'm circling the drain, a bitter pill to swallow
I?m a fool who thought that I could win
It?s been really close but no cigar
I swallow my pride and try to set aside
that It?s been really close but no cigar
