Some wishes don’t come true
That doesn’t mean that lives are lived in vain
Things didn’t turn out the way I wanted
There’s no one to blame
I tried to make the right decisions
I didn’t always do so
But bitterness doesn’t get me anywhere
Let’s get on with the show

You try to be philosophical
Shrug your shoulders
Learn from your mistakes
That’s the way it is for everyone
The make or breaks of the human condition
The gives and the takes
In the tumult of daily living
The rise and fall of life‘s tide

Coulda, woulda, shoulda
Leave it behind
