Both Sides Of A Smile (Explicit) - Dave/James Blake
Lyrics by:Dave/James Blake
Composed by:Dave/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
Hey 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 I am turning hurt into rose into rose into rose
Oh oh oh oh
Into rose into rose into rose
How could we let it slide
Mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm
Looking back at our lives
The future's just a lie
Wе'll be there you and I
Mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm
On both sidеs 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 lusting in these women
That f**kin' 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 f**k 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 f**k I am
There's plenty n***as 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 d**ned if
I give a f**king 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 f**king 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 I am turning hurt into rose into rose into rose
Oh oh oh oh
Into rose into rose into rose
How could we let it slide
Mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm
Looking back at our lives
The future's just a lie
We'll be there you and I
Mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm
On both sides of a smile
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Dave
Yeah
I just came to the area I grew up in
They can't even see the car but from the engine
They know it's me
From no fixed abode to the coast of Greece
I'm most at home in the places I ain't supposed to be
I grew up seeing mommy count pennies
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
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
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
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
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
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
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
The only reason that I lie it's '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
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
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
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
It takes years to build when you love one
Two and half minutes and it's undone
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Bought my girl a Birkin and she told me that
These b***hes can't chat to her
I'm tellin' her that they never could
You know you love her
When you're doin' s**t you never would
Come up off the d**gs and bank scams
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
How the f**k 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
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
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 its ever been
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
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
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Feels like my luck's been runnin' out
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Oh oh oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Oh oh oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Oh oh oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Oh oh oh
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm hmm hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
