If your reactions are reflecting immediate gratification,
|
will you be happy continuing the way you begun?
|
For If you're not already happy,
|
then sadness may be all you have ever known.
|
And you'll just have to learn to live with it within,
|
or you'll have to learn to change and begin again.
|
Well This ring I have shown you,
|
it means I love you, there is no one above you,
|
you are closer to me than a friend.
|
and This ring I have shown you means,
|
I don't own you, but I know our love can last 'til the end.
|
When you reflect someone else's life,
|
well that can cause all strife.
|
When there was nothing but domineering fighting when you were young.
|
So your relationship must work,
|
because your parents and you are a failure.
|
So to spite them, you live through them,
|
showing them that yours is strong.
|
But then how did you get here,
|
this attraction to this one here.
|
The one it seems can never live up or is right.
|
You're embarrassing and hating yourself more,
|
but yet this feeling is familiar.
|
When you're raised in anxiety, do you truly think
|
that it's happiness that steers your sight?
|
|
Humility is learning, to be sad anxious and yearning.
|
To shut up and not believe that you deserve,
|
anything you can't do for yourself,
|
and never being too selfish, to demand to be happy, or to be served.
|
There is no reason to think that one person can satisfy you in every way of life.
|
It's only society that tells you that that's the way that is true.
|
It takes strength to be alone,
|
but your life could be more if you don't always conform.
|
You're already in love with more than one person,
|
although you may not think you can be.
|
For old loves reside most, mostly in our memories.
|
But the fondness remains and it's still to them you would see.
|
This ring is a promise I am making to you,
|
to endeavor myself and sing for you.
|
To be happy and discover anyway I can try.
|
So my heart and friendship can stay true
|
cause my loyalty lies with you.
|
And my love, it will last 'til the end of time.
