Phonics Failed Me - Cayetana

All the books I never finished

All the songs I skipped

All the things I tried to hold on

But I let them slip away

Now I say sorry like my mother

I try to swim, I’m treading water

And it takes more to put me back together

And it takes more than it does to fall apart

For every look I took for granted

And every meal I skipped

Everything I tried to hold on

But I’m losing grip

Now I say sorry like my mother

I try to swim, I’m treading water

All the books I never finished

All the songs I skipped
