about

“Conflict doesn’t build character; it reveals it.”

“I know you are, but what am I?”

Sometimes, there are no good guys. The nastiest and ugliest parts of other people brought out the nastiest and ugliest parts of me. You have to recognize the ugliness in yourself--even if the other participants have their own ugliness--, you’re not always the perfect victim. Like wise, even if you didn't handle everything perfectly, you don't have to feel bad for removing something--or someone--unhealthy from your life.

lyrics

Can’t get whatchu want
It’s everyone’s fault--
Don’t know know who you are?

You were gonna be my quick fix
Now it’s come to this
And I’m not sorry you’re sore

Hung up on your own jealousy
‘Cos you’re not him
You’ll never be

When he has hints of Mister Snow
Even when he’s stuck on flash and bone

There’s no one left to blame
And everytime you look the rules have changed
Your great expectations have done you in

Hey, but what’s come to be
Is the joke is on me
All my deep fears were true

But that being said
We’ve all reached the end
And it still wasn’t you

Hung up on your own jealousy
‘Cos you’re not him
You’ll never be

Stuck on words that you could never say
Then throw a fit when you can’t get your way

There’s no one left to blame
And everytime you look the rules have changed
Your great expectations have done you in
Your great expectations have done wrong

Great expectations
Great expectations
