Complain

You see that tear slide from her eye Yet you do nothing You walk away unsure of yourself She falls to her knees and cries You continue to walk away Thinking only of yourself It was your fault Yet you deny it Later you'll break up with her And then complain about it That she wasn't good enough You could do better You notice your grades slip And you complain about it But you don't study You say school is stupid It's a waste of time Yet you take a test and get upset at the results You get help for that job placement test And yet you still say school is shit You get the job that you wanted But it doesn't play out like you dreamed You complain about it And let yourself feel sorry Yet you don't try at it You let it eat you alive Still not trying and yet you think you deserve a raise You think it will happen if you stay long enough You let your body go Eating, partying, playing games And you complain about it Yet you don't try to fix it You don't feel like working out Or running like you use to You say you'll do it later but never do Life, you say, sucks But you never try to make it better You say maybe later I'll take a stab at it You get angry at everything Your job Your friends Your games Your life Yet you don't do anything about it You'll throw things, hit things, but worst of all You'll complain
