another day has come and gone,
beside myself, while watching life,
while watching things that happen in it.

Whatever made you think,
that you would be kissed in the right places,
... every single time?

I know it's not the first time,
I doubt that it's the last,
I admit that I messed-up again,
... but, the drastic over-reaction,
