A Foolish Paradise

Life isn't easy When your being wrong To believe in illusions And claiming that you own Self denial is the Cruelest game Isn't it a tragity When the truth is a shame The things that you want May not want you And it really doesn't help To pretend that they do Making excuses when you Should heed the warning Standing in waiting Is the worst kind of longing People can see that Sad is pain Finding a loss When you expected gain Facing the truth While love tells its lies Just who to believe Isn't hard for the wise Letting go while The self holds on Requires endurance While its damage is done A time to heal A time to move on Time has revieled Another way to be strong
