"THE RIGHT THING TO DO?"

Written 2017-09-08

Welcome to reality

Again, this is how you're supposed to be

No more stupid sentimentality

It only makes you one weakling, cry-baby

They say speaking up is important

but why do they pretend?

Not everyone values your opinions

In fact, truth is not always what it counts

So you keep quiet

no matter how hard

Your mind's full of riot

no idea where to start

They say love should be spoken,

but what if your heart gets broken?

Reality's a torment

You find yourself frightened

in case once again,

he's just not the one

Sometimes it's the only right thing to do

Just hide what's painfully true

in order to protect no one but you

for shame only leaves you feeling blue...
