I wanted perfection,
I had unrealistic expectations,
I wanted a happy start, so that I could look back to that "Once Upon a Time"
and not worry, if I was going to ever be "Happily Ever After".
White picket fences, Green grass that caught my fall,
I wanted somewhere that the walls didn't whisper failures,
Somewhere the doorways didn't shake,
But my cards didn't hit the table that way,
and nobody hardly gets lucky on the river.
