Markus Fagervall - Close but no cigar lyrics

All my life's been a mess, it's like I always end up Two minutes late and a dollar short I've had some fun on the way but I've come to the end of the rope All my life's been a mess, it's like I always end up Two minutes late and a dollar short I've had some fun on the way but I've come to the end of the rope Cause I pulled and tore apart my bootstraps How come I don't know what to do I ran into the sand When I was trying to chase down the rainbow Just castles in the air I'm circling the drain, a bitter pill to swallow I'm a fool who thought that I could win It's been really close but no cigar I hate being told what to do or what to say or think I've been lead up to the garden path before I'm not gonna act like it's fine to set the alarm every night Hoping some day it won't go off no more How come I don't know what to do I ran into the sand When I was trying to chase down the rainbow Just castles in the air I'm circling the drain, a bitter pill to swallow I'm a fool who thought that I could win It's been really close but no cigar I think It's better for me just to walk away Than keep being beat down cause it happens everyday I ran into the sand When I was trying to chase down the rainbow Just castles in the air I'm circling the drain, a bitter pill to swallow I'm a fool who thought that I could win It's been really close but no cigar I swallow my pride and try to set aside That It's been really close but no cigar
