SOUR   GRAPES
(SOMETIMES LIFE SUCKS... SOMETIMES WE JUST THINK IT DOES)

did you ever have the guts ripped out of your soul?
did you ever give somebody else total control?
only to find they didn't care but only wanted more
and when you had nothing left to give they showed you to the door
the kicked you out the door

have you ever been beaten
by your own hands
have you ever ben beatrayed
by all of your own plans
have you ever trusted someone else
unconditionally
only to find they too advantage
for everyone to see
leaving only devastation
and misery

do you have sour grapes
have you survived countless rapes
are you afraid no one would believe
how you were used and deceived

do you have sour grapes
is there somebody in your place
receiving all of your rewards
getting everything that your worked towards

is it too much to bear
think no one would care
think you're just a fool
just too anticool
to be taken seriously
that you must have gone crazy
and you're way too insecure
so afraid, so unsure
so waste down to your core
too lost to be trusted anymore

how could you let it happen
don't you have any sense
how could someone do that to you
don't you have any defense
what are you some kind of baby
how could you have never learned
that if you jump in the fire
you will always get burned

and no matter what you say
and no matter what you do
you just can get away
with my lover told me to
even if she was your soulmate
even if he was your dreams
you will find out when it's to late
what self-preservation means

did you put up dour drapes
to hide your sour grapes?

so you have sour grapes
you have survived countless rapes
you are afraid no one would believe
how you were used and deceived

so you have sour grapes
someone has taken your place
receiving all of your rewards
getting everything that your worked towards

you can lay down and die
or you can look yourself right in the eye
and squeeze those sour grapes
until you cry and cr and cry
and squeeze those sour grapes
until there's no more juice left in them
and squeeze those sour grapes
until there's no more tears left to cry

or you can just lay down and die
or you can wear a smiling lie
or you can give up and get by
wasted on some artificial high

so you have sour grapes
I can see it in your eye
  you can still say hello...
or goodbye

(don't say goodbye)
(give life one more try)
(don't lay down and die)
(don't say goodbye)
(say hello, not goodbye)
