Facts of life



We live a world of danger.
we live in a world of heartache.
we live in a world of unjustness.
we live in a world at times of anger.

people can't go far into this world.
with people who are hatred and hurtful
we often guard our heart at times.
we don't want to break other hearts.

there are a lot of people with rage.
they tend to take their anger out on
people for no reason at all
but don't take your anger out on me.

I never caused all of your problems.
I never caused all of your heartache.
I never once said anything negativity.
but importantly you were important to me.
