Close But Not Quite

[Intro: Sampha]
Fate lets you fall into her arms without worrying
And only the size of your breath that hurts
I'm not one to go to church
But you made me believe in something more than her

[Verse 1: Sampha]
I feel like I don't have the words
I feel like I don't have the words
Because I can't speak
Am I so naive?
I feel like I don't have the words
Because I can't speak

[Hook: Curtis Mayfield]
All these word that I try to recite
They come close but not quite
All these word that I try to recite
They come close but not quite
All these word that I try to recite
They come close but not quite

[Bridge: Sampha]
I'm so misunderstood
I'm so misunderstood
I'm so misunderstood
I'm so misunderstood
I don't know what to believe

[Verse 2: Sampha]
Yeah, I guess your eyes said enough
I guess your size said enough
But all of these words, they can't express pain
It's like my live ended, there's no words that I know
Cause these are just words, and words can't express pain
Cause these are just words
They can't express pain, express pain
Speak the unspoken
[?]
Now I'm in his part

[Outro: Curtis Mayfield]
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you
