Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eh-eh
[Verse 2]
Why does it feels like
I'm the only one
Putting my heart on the line?
Why does it feel like
I'm the only one
Mining my chest
Trying to give my best all the time?
[Verse 3]
It feels like pearls to swine
Oh, oh
It feels like pearls to swine, oh
Oh
[Verse 4]
'Cause it's like oh, oh, woah, oh, woah
After pride comes the fall
If feels like oh, oh, woah, oh, woah
Break my fall
[Verse 5]
You turn a blind eye
While you magnify, scrutinise
All my flaws all the time
I'm never out of sight
Working 9 to 5, walk the line
To keep you satisfied
[Verse 6]
It feels like pearls to swine
Oh, oh
It feels like pearls to swine, oh
Oh-oh, hey
[Verse 7]
'Cause it's like oh, oh, woah, oh, woah
After pride comes the fall
If's like oh, oh, woah, oh, woah
Break my fall
Need a break
[Verse 8]
Just how I manage to get by
Something I can't seem to explain
Know we seen better times
Plenty of stress deep in my veins
Just how I manage to get by
Something I can't seem to explain
Know we seen better times
Jesus take the wheel
[Verse 9]
I put in hours tryna make an honest ol' living
Dig deep into my empty pockets, discover nothing is promised
Back to work I put my heart and soul in it
Yet you couldn't see my efforts if you put 'em under a microscope
Whatever it is I'm missing still seems to elude me
Why is this reminiscent of a past relationship
That showed plenty of promise but just ended up a mere statistic
With all the odds against us?
Hanging on our wall are pictures of our glory days
And that's the more it pains me
To come to terms with the fact that you and I have drifted, think I'm going crazy
I hit the booth to unbottle stuff
I was taught if you talk about it you can problem solve
Think it's time that I
[Verse 10]
Swallow my pride now
We can work it out now, mmh
Swallow my pride now
[Verse 11]
Swallow my pride now
We can work it out now, mmh
Swallow my pride now
[Verse 12]
'Cause it's like oh, oh, woah, oh, woah
After pride comes the fall
If's like oh, oh, woah, oh, woah
Break my fall
[Verse 13]
Swallow my pride now
We can work it out now, mmh
Swallow my pride now
[Verse 14]
Swallow my pride now
We can work it out now, mmh
Swallow my pride now
