ten more times

(album: room 1602 - 2020)

Just, ten more times and I'll be
Ten more times and I'll be fine
Just, ten more times and I'll be
Ten more times away from fine

And I will
Hold on to life for something
Hold on to keep myself alive
But my hands will not grasp it properly
I got ten less tries to stay alive

I'll have ten more tries
And by then
And I'll realize

When I'm not good for something
I find it hard to sleep at night
And when
When I'm not good for something
When I'm not good I'm just alright

And I won't complain or cry about it
I'll mend it all with a glass of wine
And when
When I'm done I'll try it
Try it all again ten more times

I'll have ten more tries
And by then I will
Then I'll realize

Everyone's doing the same
So I might stop counting times I've tried and failed
Then I'll overcome what I've tried
The last ten times will always be just one

Just ten more times and I'll be
Ten more times and I'll be right
Then ten more times will always be
Ten more times away from fine
