The Things We Do
Moments of happiness,
Come and then gone.
Is it really a wonder
How things went wrong?
Our differences of opinion
Are not what make it hard
It's the utter and complete honesty
Which is difficult to discard.
I'm glad that things are better now
That we can talk without feeling sad
I hope you know that despite what happened,
My feeling towards you isn't mad.
It's me that I'm feeling bad about
I mean, what's so wrong with me?
I may not be the prettiest
But how come that's all that people see?
I know that humans are superficial
That we tend to be shallow and dry
But people are more than bodies
They are more than what meets the eye.
We need to change the way we think
The way we do the things we do.
Because these things hurt our friends and ourselves
And then the pleasures in life are few.
