I have finally come to realize

I have finally come to realise
child don't do what i have done
cut my nose to spite my face
made my own odds 10,000 to one
I saw the empire slowly fade away
tried to grasp it with my hand
then i saw that it was not up to me
i'm just one tiny, tiny grain of sand
Oh, sweet release, oh how you soothe me
when i let go, i love how you use me
I have finally come to realise
it's something they're doing that they're doing that we find
a certain way that we can live our lives
and i'm takin' some peace of mind
Oh, sweet release, oh how you soothe me
and when i let go, and when i let go
i love how you use me
i have finally come to realise
it's something they're doing that they're doing that we find
a certain way that we can live our lives
and i'm takin' some peace of mind
I have finally come to realise, yes i have
child don't do, child don't do what i have done
i cut my nose, i cut my nose to spite my face
i made my own odds 10,000 to one
I cut my nose to spite my face
i made my own odds 10,000 to one
one more time
I cut my nose, i cut my nose
i cut my nose to spite my face
i made my own odds 10,000 to one
