It's amazing what pointing out the good can reveal
It's sad that it makes us see what's not
It's a shame to see the happiness it can steal
Realizing I do this too made me feel like a sot
It's like being stuck in a hot eternal summer
The heat keeps you from feeling cold
But being hot can be a bigger bummer
At least until you give up the greater hand to fold
Sometimes you've got to give up a little
That way you can have more later
If you want happiness then sell that miserable fiddle
And let go of the self righteousness of a hater
After all what's life hating all that you don't possess
Learn to live with what you got
It's not perfect, I confess
But it's better than being a miserable sot
Just give love, and fun another try
If you've still got the energy to take a breath
Then it isn't as if you're about to die
Don't give your happiness an early death
Let what's amazing come to you
Give up on what you can't have today
It's sometimes sad and hard to do
But tomorrow what you want just might come back to stay
It's sad that it makes us see what's not
It's a shame to see the happiness it can steal
Realizing I do this too made me feel like a sot
It's like being stuck in a hot eternal summer
The heat keeps you from feeling cold
But being hot can be a bigger bummer
At least until you give up the greater hand to fold
Sometimes you've got to give up a little
That way you can have more later
If you want happiness then sell that miserable fiddle
And let go of the self righteousness of a hater
After all what's life hating all that you don't possess
Learn to live with what you got

But it's better than being a miserable sot
