So Close Lyrics - Tinie Tempah

[Chorus: Guy Sebastian] 

Why'd you have to give up? (Why?why? why?) 

Why'd you have to give up now, when we were so close? 

When we were so close 

I swear this could've been us (Why?why? why?) 

Imagine where we'd be right now 

'Cause we were so close 

Yeah, we were so close 

[Verse 1: Tinie Tempah] 

Well, five years ago, we are on the radio that weren't legal 

Well you're scary yo, take control of your ego 

This love so fake to the man than now 

When I came with my sound, made the man them proud 

Used to be comfortable just tryna be the best in your area 

I was never satisfied, I'm tryna be the best in this era 

You said you'd been depressed, you was re-addressing your career 

So I took a Uber [??] when I could've came to my Carrera 

Just to make you feel better 

Just to make you feel something something I showed you that I cared 

I admit that I went ghost and didn't phone you for two years 

Ain't easy breaking through glass ceilings, we fighting wars out here 

We fighting wars out here, yeah, out round about here 

So it's okay for shade lights those [??] shells I wear 

Yeah, 'cause if I lose the flame, don't know whose to blame 

Might probably do the same 

Last level of a computer game, you can't [??] 

But don't lose faith, it ain't too late 

[Bridge: Guy Sebastian] 

This fight ain't even over, the bell didn't even ring 

There's no blood on the towel, so why'd you throw it in 

You could've tried believing but you're leavin' 

You could've tried believing but you're leavin' 

[Verse 1: Tinie Tempah] 

Living in [??], billing up ganja 

Tryna get bigger on Myspace, bigger on Tumblr 

So a little bit of myself in you, just a bit younger 

Switching line and ringing my phone, I'm private number 

Tell you is ready for the world, yeah I can see you had a hunger 

Said I'm gon' make them respect me, [??] Dizzy and DJ Wonder 

Remember how you [??] on stage, got a bit drunker 

Didn't wanna share no limelight, no you wanna steal my thunder? 

Triple my net worth, 'cause I'm rich in karma 

[??] come to my studio, get you [??] 

Always showed love as an artist 

Celebrate it when you try it 

[??] wonder what happened, never lasted 

You can tell lies for a whole life time but the truth is a bastard 

[??] them times when you at your darkest 

Now apart from my african friend house, you ain't seen no red carpet 

Had a whole world in your finger tips, now it's all way past it 

[Bridge: Guy Sebastian] 

This fight ain't even over, the bell didn't even ring 

There's no blood on the towel, so why'd you throw it in 

You could've tried believing but you're leavin' 

You could've tried believing but you're leavin' 

[Chorus: Guy Sebastian] 

Why'd you have to give up? (Why?why? why?) 

Why'd you have to give up now, when we were so close? 

When we were so close 

I swear this could've been us (Why?why? why?) 

Imagine where we'd be right now 

'Cause we were so close 

Yeah, we were so close 

[Verse 3: Bugzy Malone] 

I was sitting in the back of a car, tears rolling down my face 

I didn't wanna cry but I know the streets aren't safe (nah) 

I know the police don't play, [??] on my case 

There's only so many crimes that can take place before they observe it 

I was on a [??] thing but I didn't wanna miss this time 

I was stood in, I watched [??], then I watched [??] then I watched nines 

But when I seen this, couldn't agree with thsi shit 

I'm one of the realest artists, man make music, man don't bitch 

So I jumped out the car, in a different [??] 

Wiped off the tears, not turn and run 

Told myself [??] do my thing, they're gonna be like London's burning down 

I've been grinding five years, four mixtapes, 1 EP; never got a retweet, watch how we change this now
