Not Learning A Thing From Life
I've decided to start over,
never be a lonely clover
snatched away by the wild wind;
I will keep what's mine and smile:
precious moments have a deadline!
Not learning a thing from life
cost me happiness and pride;
can I live days without grief inside,
only driven by that intense desire?
I chased every rainbow after a rainfall,
no single dream lasted longer than sunset:
nobody was beside me making me happy;
yesterday was sad: should I trust today?
Learn from life and tell everybody
to avoid heartbreak and misery;
there's little time to hold on regrets:
go on with courage, win your battles!
Once I tasted joy, I wanted more;
that's when selfishness seemed a threat:
I wasn't too satisfied and pushed my limit,
never realizing I'd wind up alone!
Not learning a thing from life
makes you hopeless, not wise;
time is quicker than a bright lightening:
find your passion and live it with feeling!
