the world

Sometimes the world doesn’t seem fair
I thought it was necessary to tell you that,
if you didn’t know it and you didn’t mind hearing it

I wanted to the first to tell you about that

sometimes the world can see what everything is like
sometimes the world can be the first to stab you in the back

isn’t it funny how the nicest things can hurt you,
always when you’re not looking
always when you expect it the least.

there are so many times when I’ve wanted things different
they’re never like anyone else’s
and you never know how to go about solving the cricis
and everyone seems to have a better answer
and everyone seems to have everything under control
and everyone can’t have it as good as you
and why does everyone else get the easy breaks
but you, this time, not you.
