Goapele - Catch 22 lyrics

rate me

Nobody knows what I go through

Indecisions made me passive

They say I want my cake and I want to eat it too

Less satisfied if I don't, consequences when I do

These lessons, they lead me on my way

But when company is tempting me, I'm turned around

But I might wanna go that way,

Don't wanna go that way

Well, it's a catch 22

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do

Yes, it's a catch 22

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do

How many times does it take to learn just one thing,

'cause I keep ending up here

And I'm not a scientist so I just keep on praying that I won't

Keep getting the same results each day

I said that I can't be with you

But when you turn away I pull back your hands to stay

(your hands to stay)

So many days turn to years

That brought us here

And we (shied) through time without too many tears

But we still made decisions creating divisions

So many contradictions,

Why didn't we listen?

Well, it's a catch 22(catch 22)

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do

Yes, it's a catch 22

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do

(I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do)

'Cause when I see you looking at her

I can't stand it, my eyes can't conceive

You gave her the smile you gave to me

I love you selfishly

I can feel so strongly

Oh, how you (throw) me

But still you know me

Oh, you know me

Yes, it's a catch 22,

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do

(damned if I do)

Yes, it's a catch 22, (catch 22)

Damned if I don't, Damned if I do

(I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do)

To hell with all the promises we made,

The boundaries, the pain

I don't care who's wrong or right

Let's just ignore that tonight, I don't wanna fight

Where you lead me I'll follow

I won't stress on tomorrow

'cause I miss you like the moon misses the sky,

The waves miss the sand,

The leaves miss the breeze flowin' by

So come to me easy,

'cause I know you can please me

But it's a catch 22...
