And how they said...

"We're born to suffer."

We were born to lose all those (beautiful) things
that we can't hold on to.

--

It's the giving up that is the worst part
It's the letting go.
The giving in.
The selfless goodbye.
Cutting loose all the strings you know.

It's tripping on the way to the top,
that's what shakes a man.

Questions the very future he scripts.
The roads he built, no --
the road he walks.

I swear it's the giving up that feels
less like losing
and more like sobering up.

It's crushing bugs just to feel them crush
Forget about reason or dignity
Far more familiar whores.

It's being down on your luck
that makes you regret
what you're giving up!
