Should have gone differently, is what l 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
