Quit While You're Ahead

Try honesty they said, It′s always better, but ive found another way, to keep my head together.

And i feel dishonest, in what im about to say to you cos, i made a promise, im just far too awkward to tell the truth.

Try ...

they say, we do it every day.

Why worry about feelings, that disappear anyway.

So here it is straight, mate, pack your things and go away.

I'm sorry i lied to you.

Just an agreement that we′ve come to make.

Quit while you're ahead.

But i really dont think im far enough yet, quit while you're ahead they say.

Pick it up again some day.

Quit while you′re ahead.

But i really dont think im far enough yet, quit while you′re ahead they say.

So practise anyway.

Try education, i've been here way too long.

Ten thousand words on and all ive written is a couple of songs.

Spend my life so far, here in this bubble.

and all theyve taught me is how much im going to struggle.

Try writing songs they said, to please the crowd.

Well ive tried it once or twice but i never really figured it out.

Yeah i used the same three chords, throughout this whole thing.

And yeah im whining on but youre the one complaining.

Quit while you′re ahead.

But i really dont think im far enough yet, quit while you're ahead they say.

Pick it up again some day.

Quit while you′re ahead.

But i really dont think im far enough yet, quit while you're ahead they say.

So practise anyway.

You, might not be able to relate.

and you, might think im another one of those whos complaining, when nothings really wrong to cause you ...

whoever you are.

Quit while you′re ahead.

But i really dont think im far enough yet, quit while you're ahead they say.

Pick it up again some day.

Quit while you're ahead.

But i really dont think im far enough yet, quit while you′re ahead they say.

But ive found another way to keep my head together.
