Sometimes

nothing you do can prevent sadness in your life.

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you?ve broken
Don?t close your eyes, don?t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you?ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you?ll ever have
Don?t close your eyes
Don?t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don?t close your eyes
Don?t close your eyes
Don?t close your eyes
Don?t close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose

    No, nothing can. No high, no low; no good, no bad; no black, no white; no sun, no rain.

    And no rain, no rainbow. (Okay, actually that’s not entirely true, but you know what I mean.)

    May the skies clear up for you soon.

    Sadness need not be bad. It is also a contrast agent that allows better appreciation of what you already have, once you get over it.

    In your sadness now my darling, there is still one thing you can find comfort in, you had the freedom to choose it.

    the full measure of your sorrow can only be paralleled by the heights of your happiness. as deep as your sadness descends, as high as your joy soars.
