The facade of happiness wont last long
The loss that you feel will come on strong
Realizing that you gave up what could have been
To have rejected your heart by not letting me in
I have learned this lesson and now I understand
What is needed to supplement this realized man
I need to grow into myself, I need to look at me
I need to make this the place I want to be
I live alone and sometimes get sad
I live alone and sometimes get mad
I have tried to find the woman for me
I'm not going to look anymore, Ill just let it be.
Rejection is part of life and I've had it enough
I don't want to be discarded like a ball lost in the rough.
Maybe I should close myself off and live within my mind
Maybe I should forget about the woman I was trying to find.
Close my heart and get my life back in shape
Exercise my body and let my brain vacate
Stop trying to be happy whilst the midst of pain
Gather my spirits and drink til they all taste the same
Time will heal, so they say, cliche at it's best
I don't think I will heal, like a wave with no crest
I'll keep on rolling until I reach the shore
It will be a long time til I break, of that I am sure
I have felt the pain we all try to avoid
Loneliness and rejection, boredom and annoyed
But this is my life, alone with little hope
Not wanting to deal with more than I can cope
