What Are The Odds Lyrics by Jorja Smith
[Intro]
Oh, mm
Oh-oh
Oh
When it hurts, when it don't, when it matters, when it won't
[Verse 1]
If you've worked hard, I know the pain, someone must understand
Always gone for it, I have ran, so you can take my hand
Think I'm tired of it, then I don't, will I stop? No, I won't
Yeah, I stand, but I choke, try to talk, then I fall back
I've been through one too many things, I wish I always knew
Gets hard to tell the truth, in the end, it's just my point of view
Still I always see the glass that's full and make room for you
Still give too much, don't give no—
[Chorus]
Say it loud
Say it, say it loud, say it
Say it loud
Say it, say it loud, say it
But I can't tell you what to do, no
They never told me what to do
No
Say it loud
Say it, say it loud, say it
[Verse 2]
That's the thing about a life up high
In the lights, you can't see what's off
And you can't see behind their smilеs
Sometimes and you don't evеn know what's love
No one dare, didn't care when the lights go out
And the crowd don't shout no more
When you're young on a stage with the mic by yourself
Realisin' it all, but there's no one there
And there's times to look up, how did I get here?
And everyone wants somethin' for it
Like Oliver Twist, you give, but quick like, "Please, can I have some more?"
And I know everyone's survivin'
Know that it's hard sometimes and your life's important
And I would be your saving grace, God knows I would if I could afford it
[Chorus]
Say it loud
Say it, say it loud, say it (Say it)
Say it loud
Say it, say it loud, say it (Oh)
But I can't tell you what to do, no (I can't tell you what to do)
They never told me what to do (They never tell me what to do)
No
Say it loud
Say it, say it loud, say it
[Outro]
This time, said it's the last time
That you'll ever (ever come for me I had to lose)
And in my heart, know that it's over
I know why you don't (I gave you something I had to lose) ooh
This time, but it's this time, know it's this time (What you goin' through?)
This time, but if this time, better to fall (This time, better to fall)
Ooh-ooh
