Close the door to opportunity
I was so close
but it was like running in a dream
Trying so hard
But I feel locked down
My finger tips brushed it
But it slammed in my face
Sent me flying back
I fell over
I couldn't get back up
I was frozen in the essence of my failure
If only all was fair
But it isn't
So wishing on an empty sky
Is pointless
I have to pick it all back up
And start again from the beginning line
When the bell goes off
I'll run until my feet bleed
And my heart stops
