A Least That’s What I Hear

There are so many things
I’ve tried to do with my life
and there are so many things
that I’ve wanted
and there are so many things
that I just took care of myself

well, there are just so many things
and I don’t know if I can even
get close to any of one the things I want

I don’t know if I can touch them
I don’t know if I can make
everything better
I don’t know if something is

supposed to come along and save the day

There are many things
that have disappointed me in my life
and there are so many things
that have never happened
and that is the part that has
never worked out the
way I planned

things always have that effect on me, you know

it’s easy to get disappointed
about things when you
think about them too much

you can just try to ignore all the bad stuff
or just try to change your whole way of thinking
or you can just try to be okay
with all the bad stuff happening
and maybe you can be okay
with just having a little
and just being alone

all I have to say
is that the last option there
isn’t an easy one
but it might save you at the
bottom line

at least that’s what I hear
