Can’t Please Everyone
[Intro: Elusive]
Yeah
I'm just feeling
I'm just feeling a little bit different inside right now
So this next song
I'mma do things a little differently
No backing vocals
No ad libs
Just pure emotion
Here we go..
[Verse 1: Elusive]
Uh, it's been a long, hard life I lived
And knowing you has been my only gift
So I'm giving you this rhyme, cause we're close to Christmas time
Now I'll think of you, like you're the only one I miss
But what I feel is like a summer breeze
Cause in my mind I'm somewhere overseas
I couldn't fly - I stayed grounded, but I was surrounded
By everybody, that I knew I couldn't please
Uh, but still I gave my all
We can trade places, I'd take it all
It must be autumn, cause every time you leave
I just pile it up, but I can't use you to break my fall
Anymore, since it ain't spring
But even in the winter feel the same thing
It's so cold underground, but still I'll wear a crown
Cause this is history, in the making..
[Hook: Rhonda]
You can be number one, under the sun..
But you can't please everyone..
Don't stop you just begun, when the day is done..
But you can't please everyone..
[Verse 2: Elusive]
Yeah..
I'm not somebody that you can relate to
I hear your voice in my head say, "I fucking hate you"
I hope it ain't true, cause if it is
Then I just lost the one place, I thought I could escape to
In my mind, we can reunite
And I ain't gotta stay up overnight
The only reason I'm writing, is so in the future
I can make sure that you're alright
And you'll have memories when I'm gone
But this ain't where I'm going, this is where I'm from
I'm so close to giving up now
Cause I figured out, you just can't please everyone
Like all I wanted was to see you smile
To see your face again, even though it's been a while
I know how I feel - it never changes
And the last thing that I'd want us to be is strangers..
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Elusive]
Yo..
Some people say that a heart mends
Until then, I am waiting till the world ends
And I ain't giving up on love, it's a comfort
The only thing I'm done with is girlfriends
But you ain't need me, I need you
Like the criticism - so let's review
I'm done trying to please everyone, breathing
But I must apologize, cause I couldn't even please you
Though I tried, I could never win
The chips were stacked against us, so I'll bet again
But I'll bet against myself
Cause either way I'm gonna lose, and I just want to see you bettering
Your own life, as I fade away
If this is all a symphony, then just let it play
Cause though to you I (C minor/seem minor)
I never thought I would be touched, in such A major way..
[Hook]
Yeah
