Lonely Reflections

The brothers may have said it best
You've lost that lovin feelin
But I've managed to convince myself
My own righteousness is why I stay 

Every effort I make
Every swing I take
Misses the mark
And comes up empty

It still haunts me now and then
Some nights far more than others
Opportunities foresaken 
Yesterday's regrets last to today

I know I'm far from perfect
And I've never claimed otherwise
But with my persistent imperfection
Seems that I fall short in your eyes

Your heart gives so much
For your friends and family
But I'm always left to question
How much is left for me?
