Lianne La Havas - Elusive Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's a gambler, spinnin' wheels
Poison victim, look of steel
The coldest heart you've ever felt
The coldest hands you've ever held
Taken down on his way
A million miles, still no headway
Has his love truly blown?
In his mind, I'm proud to roam

[Chorus]
He's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He said, "My destiny
Lies in the hands that set me free"

[Verse 2]
A reckless night he hears me breathe
Cursing the skies of this company
You've lost the wisdom deep inside
His bitterness shows its side
If it's true, I am doomed
What more is there to hold on to?
A strand of hair is all I own
A gift to me, this sorry soul

[Chorus]
He's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He said, "My destiny
Lies in the hands that set me free"
