Try

Standing around Waiting Hoping it will come But things are never easy Or ever really go your way Sitting, laying down Nothing will change The eventuality of it That it will never arrive, That you are stuck in limbo Waiting for the bottle in the water That will tell you That you were right to stay But we all know This isn't a fantasy It was dumb to think You could have your way, You could have everything But can't have the one thing You had desperately wanted Life can be that way Keeping you away From complete and true happiness But everyone deals with it So suck it up, Continue on, Because what else can you do? Mope around all day? Cry an endless river? All because one opportunity Had flown away? Well, that would be weak And stupid, since you Can create new possibilities With a few words Out of your mouth But people are either Too scared or unbelieving That they can do anything But truthfully, amazing things Can happen if you at least TRY!
