When you grumpily bear that frown
And wear your pride like a crown
I want to slap you to the ground
And hiss and verbally rebound

When you whine how life is unfair
I long to tell you to grow a pair
I look at your privileged life
Untouched by real tragedy and strife

When you fill my inbox with emails
Filled with pages of how love always fails
I long to tell you to get a grip
And not turn love into some fantasy trip

Life is hard, you understand??
People lie, you stupid man
You will be betrayed, hun
Your heart will be trampled on

So next time you moan and whine for longer
Remember these things make you stronger
Because it might now seem like a tragedy
But tomorrow will be a little better, you’ll see
