it was a confrontation
it always is
when has it ever ended nicely
ended well
endings aren't always happy
I mean I was happy
But my happiness is overpowered
by another man's sadness
and I know that I'm asking for too much
for it all to be swell
but I don't know if I can live in a kind of world
where sadness defeats joys
defeats every optimistic feeling
but that's the world we live in
this is the only world
for not anyways
perhaps in another life
It could be all
happy - go - lucky
but for now
sadness
is where truth lies
- stuck in my ways
