Forever in Limbo
They say the grass is greener
But little do they know
How true it is to never find
The gold under the rainbow.
You grow up wanting marriage
A house and a bunch of kids
And when you finally get it,
Your marriage hits the skids.
Again, you find you're single
And plan to have some fun
'Til one night you realize
You're lonely with no one.
No matter where you are in life
You want some other place
One day you want it all
The next you want your space.
You shouldn't give the other side
Even a single glance.
Just be thankful for what you have
And give your life a chance.
