SOUR GRAPES
(SOMETIMES LIFE SUCKS... SOMETIMES WE JUST THINK IT DOES)
I gave up my home more than five years ago
for love, for trust, for a dream
I gave up my privacy
gave up my comforts
for a promise of being part of a team
but I was used and abused
used up and discarded
if I told you what happened
you'd call it obscene
I lost everything in the past five years
for love, for trust, for a dream
and the head in the sand is hiding from the fears
that lost deep in great pain
I have gone so insane
that I might not regain anything
and what I gave it all up for I may have lost too
my love, my trust, and my dream
it may be just lament or self-pity
sour grapes that I keep throwing up
while I vegetate in ambivalence
high on sugars, I drown in my cup
in a chocolate frenzy I forget myself
but my jones is not the usual scene
still I'll die just as well by my own hand
even if you don't know what I mean
for my love, my trust, and my dream
I search for a home and a family
for love, for trust, for a dream
give me reason to live
motivation to give
for a promise of being part of a team
a promise not broken
by lies hardly spoken
a fool's scheme
I search for a home and a family
for love, for tust, for a dream
and the heart in the closet is hiding from fears
that lost deep in great pain
I have gone so insane
that I might not regain anything
and what I gave it all up for I may have lost too
my love, my trust, and my dream
and it may be lament or self-pity
sour grapes that I keep passing 'round
while I vegetate in self-indulgeance
high on sugars, I bounce up and down
in a chocolate frenzy I forget my pain
I lose myself with each pound I gain
and I'll die as any junkie high on ice cream
even if you don't know what I mean
for my love, my trust, and my dream
please tell me it's not lost forever
please give me reason to believe
that there is hope for my dream to come true
I won't believe your words,
but I might believe you
if you believe in me
I'll try... to do
I gave up my home more than five years ago
for love, for trust, for a dream
I gave up my privacy
gave up my comforts
for a promise of being part of a team
for love, for trust, for a dream
For Love, For Trust, For A Dream
(Homeless)
