Had to Take a Fall
Guilty thinkin' I was special, nothin' less than all
Played a game of life, didn't see the curve ball
Never sang the blues, M.I.A. the day of that roll call
My mistake, life it seems, I had to take a fall
============================
Stupid thinkin' I could hide, a dressed up paper doll
Emulate the fashion spread, a gangsta and his moll
Golden glitter fairytale ends when real hits the wall
My mistake, life it seems, I had to take a fall
=================================
No princess dreams await, God, he isn't even tall
And all the kingdoms booze heads for a brawl
Foul mood holds a cocktail laced with bitter gall
My mistake, life it seems, I had to take a fall
=================================
Wallow, wail and whine, grow up, get up and haul
Me, myself and mine leads to lonely, dark and small
Where courage hides beneath an old lady's shawl
No mistake, life it seems, I had to take a fall
=================================
Hardship gave me eyes that see around and down the hall
Light through the window that forecasts the coming squall
My open heart holds promise now, no time left to stall
No mistake, life it seems, I had to take a fall
=================================
