Seesaw Song

they say life is a journey
but they never said you'd have to crawl
they say lovers write their names in the stars
but they never said what it feels like if you fall

they say money can't buy happiness
but they never said life's a lot more painful for the poor
they say that beauty's only skin deep
but they never said that outside beauty can open doors

they say anyone can find love
but they never said anyone can lose it
they say you can do anything if you put your mind to it
but they never said you couldn't choose it

they say money can't buy love
but they never said that it's harder to find without it
they say everyone's good at something
but they never said no one cares about it

they say you learn from your mistakes
but they never said a mistake could kill you
they say everything happens for a reason
but they never said it might not thrill you

they say there's a light at the end of the tunnel
but they never said that it could blind you
they say there's someone for everyone
but they never said they might never find you

they say there are plenty of fish in the sea
but they never said that you could drown
they say every cloud has a silver lining
but they never said that you might fall down

they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
but they never said your will to live might fade each day
they say good things come to those that wait
but they never said you might die along the way
