Feeling Sorry
“Feeling Sorry” is about people who want good things to happen to them
while they don’t work to get it. It critiques people with potential who waste their
lives waiting for things to come their way rather than looking out for their
purpose in life.
We still live in the same town, well, don’t we? But I don’t see you around
anymore. I go to all the same places. Not even a trace of you. Your days are
numbered at twenty-four and I’m getting bored waiting ’round for you. We’re not
getting any younger and I won’t look back ’cause there’s no use. It’s time to move
forward.
I feel no sympathy. You live inside a cave. You barely get by. The rest of us
are trying, there’s no need to apologize, I’ve got no time for feeling sorry.
Well, I try not to think of what might happen. When your reality, it finally
cuts through. Well, as for me, I got out and I’m on the road. The worst part is
that this (This), this could be you.
You know it too. You can’t run from your shame. You’re not getting any
younger and time, keeps passing by but you wave it away. It’s time to roll over.
And all the best lies, they are told with fingers tied so cross them tight.
Won’t you promise me tonight? If it’s the last thing you do, you’ll get out. I feel
no sympathy. You live inside a cave. You barely get by. The rest of us are trying,
there’s no need to apologize, I’ve got no time for feeling sorry.
