The Mystery I Can't Solve (T.I.V. Classic Novel Series Chapter 2)

[Verse 1] You walked in Case in your eyes Smile in your pocket Gloves by the door Rain on your coat like a code I saw the clues Lipstick on glass Laughter too careful I read the room But you were the riddle that stayed unsolved [Chorus] Irene Adler You altered the evidence Rearranged every fact in my head Turned deduction into dizziness You’re the crack in the mask that I wear Irene Adler Impossible variable You made logic feel terribly small I could map every crime in this city But you’re the mystery that solved it all (oh) [Verse 2] You play the game Trading your secrets for pieces of mine You steal the queen Then hand it back just to watch me align You say my name Soft as a dare in the dark Baker quiet My pulse replies Louder than any revolver I’ve fired [Chorus] Irene Adler You altered the evidence Rearranged every fact in my head Turned deduction into dizziness You’re the crack in the mask that I wear Irene Adler Impossible variable You made logic feel terribly small I could map every crime in this city But you’re the mystery that solved it all [Bridge] I’ve always trusted patterns Ink and ash and alibis But you slipped through every answer Like perfume through my hands that night So if love is just a motive Then arrest me where I stand You outwitted every instinct And still you let me understand [Chorus] Irene Adler You altered the evidence Rearranged every fact in my head Turned deduction into dizziness You’re the truth that I never declared Irene Adler Improbable miracle You’re the one case I wanted to fall I can prove every theory I’m given But you’re the reason I doubt them all
