It's not what it seems
I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing
1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me
Had I known better then maybe you would still be... my family tree
It's not what it seems
Up late nights I was busy chasing that thing
1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me
Had I known better then maybe you would still be... my family tree
We were both so young and gifted
The first time that I couldn't resist it
You had the lead, I assisted and
It was actually good just a little bit tilted
In the eyes of the world we exist in
Often challenged but we stayed pristine
You were my renaissance painting
Always all over my dome like the Sistine
When you lit my eyes from the crowd
Skittles-like beads in your hair standing out
Moving to the beat but your rhythm was off
So you ran up to the DJ yo turn it up
There I knew you would test my patience
What ensued was a lesson in pacing
And I couldn't complain it was daecent
When I realised you were making a statement
It's not what it seems
I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing
1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me
Had I known better then maybe you would still be... my family tree
It's not what it seems
I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing
1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me
Had I known better then maybe you would still be... my family tree
I'm sound and I move like no one
Had my ups and Lindsay low ends
Found my way past that like a Roman
But I couldn't keep you with four hands
I wrote songs, so they'd have me covered
But deep down I was broken
When I stood on that stage in Dolans
And made arms go up like rollons
Humbled, my eyes got teary
It was goal after goal, I'm Thierry
Except for the one of my dreams, she was Jerry
Call me Tom, when you find me chasing
Shadows of my former self
Like the high end kicks lying dead on my shelf
Took so much space in the room that it left
Me wishing on star like Michelin chef
Next time, I'll be moving different
I saw how I created a distance
It was all good when I dreamed like an infant
Some of came true and it got me complacent
I kept my eyes on the prize too long to realise I had come for the tea not the biscuit
Now all I have is songs to remind me of what could have been, I was young and I missed it
It's not what it seems
I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing
1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me
Had I known better then maybe you would still be... my family tree
It's not what it seems
I was up late nights I was busy chasing that thing
1 plus 1 makes 1 but 2 they told me
Had I known better then maybe you would still be... my family tree
