Close But Not Quite

[Verse 1: Sampha] Fate lets you fall into her arms without a word 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 hurt [Pre-Chorus: 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 naïve? I feel like I don't have the words Because I can't speak [Chorus: Curtis Mayfield] Of these words I've tried to recite They are close but not quite Of these words I've tried to recite They are close but not quite [Post-Chorus: Sampha] I'm so misunderstood, I'm so misunderstood I'm so misunderstood, I'm so misunderstood I don't know what to believe in [Verse 2: Sampha] I guess your eyes said enough I guess your sigh said enough All of these words, no they can't express pain It's like my life ended, there's not words that I've learned Oh, and these are just words And they can't express pain These are just words, oh words That can't express the pain, the pain in my soul Speak the unspoken A monster got woken up and now, now I'm in his paw [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
