Piano Man playing in the background
Telling of an artist and of a crowd
I sit on my own and just wonder how
My memories got me this bound
It's not the sad songs that make me cry
It's the happy ones that make me weep
And I fight back the tears until my mind clears
These feelings are all mine to keep.
And I'd like to see how my life would be
Had I chosen to act right on time
I'd have all that I need, free of envy and greed
And everything would be so fine.
Our roads have so many options to choose
There's no one else that we should accuse
As life forks like a lightning and we just keep fighting
And sometimes we're all going to loose.
I'd say I'm the most hopeful pessimist
When it comes to living my life
In the same time a hopeless narcissist
Who always gets an eye for an eye
Should I someday find me an equal
Someone charming enough to adore
I'd be just too damn scared to trust or to care
I'd be standing alone once more
Still I feed on all of my misery
And I get my kicks out of pain
It's so easy to feel even if it's not real
That my loss is also my gain.
