There is always something you want,
something that you can never get,
you can wish with all your heart,
but it’s like the angels just forget
You try with all your might,
with all your soul to the very end,
you want it more that anything,
even more than your best friend
You can wish,
you can try,
but you’ll fail,
and you’ll cry
But there is a reason behind it,
behind all this madness,
behind the fact that you can’t have your dream,
it is to keep you from the obsess
The obsess of wanting more,
you see, once you get what you want,
you’ll keep wanting more and more,
maybe even to be more brilliant
It’s really quite smart,
to stop you where you are,
make you look around,
and appreciate what’s so bare.
