The Problem Is You
You say you're having problems
With both family and friends
Let's see if we can boil this down
Now where do we begin
No sense in pussyfooting
If we're to get right to the truth
By my calculations
The common denominator is you
If it's you that is the problem
Then the solution is the same
So let's start working in that noggin
And come up with a plan
Perhaps a whole new attitude
A softening of heart
A loosening of the chains of blame
Would be the place to start
If you feel they're out to get you
Before you draw weapons to defend
Search first for the problem
Because it might come from within
I've found a lot of times in life that if you're having issues with others most likely it's your own selfishness that's really the issue.
