In Place of Anger

from Meditations in an Emergency by Liz McBride!

/

lyrics

At time it’s easy to believe that you finally found a love
To meet someone new makes you feel like you’ve caught a bug
I’m wasting away because I thought I knew you, but you were playing games
As far as love goes for now, I must refrain

This technology age does little good for me
I read between lines for things I think I see
I’m lost and confused, my anger builds up inside—can’t read it through a screen!
The years go on and yet again I only have me

The thing is film and TV make love seem easy!
But in real life, you throw it all on the line to find someone won’t
do the same for you…

I’ve had my moment to pout now
I’m getting through this bullshit once again
“Que sera”: my mantra, my only friend…
The next thing you have to learn is how other people see:
They look at themselves believing they don’t deserve half of what they need!
So keep your cool—unlike them, you work through issues
Your rocket’s gonna come!

-Don’t be sad or cry
-Remember stay wise
-Without your realizing it, you’ll find him, Mr. Right.

Under a rich, deep, nocturnal sky, they would stand for an hour, hushed and spellbound, listening to the nightingale." ... more
