Personal. A lesson I learned through participation. |
I first saw her today on the TV A plate of salad the focus of her ire Secretly she was being goaded A local game show was capturing the play at hand They finally made the woman lose her cool The waitress was rewarded with a swear (Refrain) I saw her the other day in concert Dancing and singing to what I wrote I found my dream… Oh yes! I found my dream! Fast forward to today, looking back Upon my life’s sad direction Illness has robbed me of my true love So, I’m confronting my hollow past (Pause) You never can tell when true love will appear But without it, your nothing, least of all whole My heart will eventually sing in celebration When I have her to hold onto within my arms Oh yes… Gone is my youthful appearance My blondish hair is now fully gray I’ve gained weight due to my depression All the while I’ve hidden what I’ve needed to convey Money has controlled her directions Sadly, she hasn’t seen this simple truth I monthly must go into Costco Swallowing prescriptions galore for my sanity Gone are many of my memories Dead are many of my friends Sad that my love’s been rejected Alone I shall live my life until the end For true love isn’t a game of pretend (End with repeating the refrain then fade out) Refrain: Never can you get all that you want Never can you get all that you need But if you keep your cool, no matter what You’ll win in more ways than one |
