My Own Advice

(альбом: Again, Pt. 2 - 2022)

Maybe once, maybe twice
Did I ever take my own advice?
There were reasons, I'm sure
Quite oblique if there were
There was breathe, compromise
Had one tattooed on my arm: be nice
Sometimes words can mean more
I said peace, I meant war

And everything could be so nice
The world could be a paradise
Simple things would still suffice
If I could take my own advice

Maybe once, maybe more
There are some things you just can't ignore
Like when words can't decide
To reveal or to hide
All those moments in life
Like when you said black and you meant white
For some reason obscure
I forget what they were

And everything could be so nice
The world could be a paradise
Simple things would still suffice
If I could take my own advice

But I can't take my own advice (you should be dancing)
No, I can't take my own advice (you should be dancing)
I try, but what kind of fool am I? Thinking I could get by
Taking my own advice (you should be dancing)

Maybe once, maybe twice
Did I ever take my own advice
Never act too demure
Comes off as insecure
Always swallow your pride
Never keep things bottled up inside
For whatever it's worth
This is heaven on earth

And everything could be so nice
The world could be a paradise
Simple things would still suffice
If I could take my own advice

But I can't take my own advice (you should be dancing)
No, I can't take my own advice (you should be dancing)
I try, but what kind of fool am I? Thinking I could get by
Taking my own advice (you should be)
