Curtains

[Verse 1]

So I met this girl

I was mindin' my own and she waltz right over to grab my phone and she said

"So what? You're just gonna sit there all night feelin' sorry for yourself?

See I've been eyein' you up the whole night from across the room

So what? You need a cosmic boom?

To get your attention?

And did I happen to mention?

My drink's been empty the past five minutes

So can I fill you in the general convention?"

I said, "Look, you know, I just got out of some messy shit, you know

I'm not really lookin' to start somethin'"

And she said, "Woah

Who said I was lookin' to start somethin'?

See I could tell by the holes in your clothes that you're loaded and

I'm a bit of a gold digger

Gunnin' for gold liquor

Maybe even that old number seven

Matter fact, a glass a that'd be heaven

Heaven's a place on the rocks with a twist a lemon

And did I happen to mention?

My drink's been empty the past ten minutes

So can I fill you in the general convention"

I said, "Huh, that's very cute. You don't have a boyfriend or somethin' do you?"

And she said, "Woah, now look who's eager

Look who's lookin' to dive a little bit deeper

Look who's lookin' me up and down

You're quick to switch from a frown

How quickly you broke your promise of playin' the sad clown

I know your type"

Yeah, what's that?

"You're arrogantly modest, probably into your rap

You're probably good with the women, spinnin' your cynical facts

Sippin' your Guinness in solace and intellectual slacks

Bet you say you're shy but you love the attention

That pitiful player act is lackin' dimension

Speakin' of lackin', what am I speakin' in? Latin?

Maybe I didn't say it

Or did I happen to mention?

My drink's been empty the past fifteen minutes

So can I fill you in the general convention?"

[Interlude]

I said alright

I said okay

I said alright

I said okay

I said alright

I said okay

I said alright

I said okay

I said alright

I said okay

[Verse 2]

And I looked at the bartender and I was like, "Hey"

Gimme Guinness and a Bacardi and Coke

Lookin' for spinach, then I started to spoke

Speak-speak with a stutter on different strokes

She could tell I was nervous, then she started to spoke, speak

And she said

She said

And she said

She said

"Don't spend too long believin' you're not whole

Believe you're half of a person losin' half of your soul

You're losin' half of your love and you're hatin' twice as much

Self-love's fucked, you question if you're enough

Spendin' all your time worried 'bout your other half and

What's the point in that if they don't want you back?

How long you gonna sit at that fuckin bar stool

Lettinn 'em kill you?

Now where's the fuckin sense in that?

I'm no a stranger to the pain I know how we hurt

I've seen both sides of someone doin' the dirt

Man, I've lived both lives, you know what I like best?

Is the love you get the minute you start lovin' yourself"

[Interlude]

And she said

She said

She said

She said

She said, "I've lived both lives, you know what I like best?

It's the type of love you get when you start lovin' yourself"

And she said

She said

She said

She said

She said, "I've lived both lives, you know what I like best?

It's the type of love you get when you start lovin' yourself"

And she said

She said

She said

She said

She said, "I've lived both lives, you know what I like best?

It's the type of love you get when you start lovin' yourself"

And she said

She said

She said

She said

She said, "I've lived both lives, you know what I like best?

It's the type of love you get when you start, ayy

[Outro]

And we danced the whole night 'til bright ended in laughter

Had me hook line and hangin' off of the rafters

Who the fuck cares about happy ever after

When I have enough for a taxi to get us back to the afters?

Who needs a happy ever afters?

I got happy for the moment, that'll do

Split the queue, you and me, cue laughter

Roll on snare drum

And it's curtains, ayy

And it's curtains, ayy

And it's curtains, ayy

Yeah, it's curtains, ayy
