lyrics
Delete, scrap the draft and start again
And try not to demonize your friends
Don't write if you're bitter or angry or asking for help
You'll flatter the people that hurt you, embarrass yourself
So express your sense of loss and failing health
But try not to eulogize yourself
You're sorry and sad so attack but don't go for a kill
Or better yet, take a step back, a short breath and be still
Things will go away, things will fall apart
You are getting older now, an end is just a start
So think long and hard about what you call out in this song
Who you become when you are sure you have been wronged
Things will move along, don't be left behind
Don't whine and cry and wonder why
If you don't respond in time
I've changed inside, some things are gone
It's not the life I planned on
I'm tired of sleep, my own two feet
Are not too weak to stand on
With much to prove I'll try too hard
And make a move but drop my guard
A learning curve, some growing pains
Cut through the losses and the gains
And I know that by the time
The dust all clears it will be fine
The universe will run its course
No matter what I do or force
Silence the cynic and the snark
State this without a question mark
