People let you down,
And people tear your heart out
The only thing in this world
You can rely on is your own clout

Come into this world alone
And death is the same
We are all here in this life together
So on whom can we place the blame?

Stop making one person everything
And letting them hold so much worth
Putting them on a pedestal
Is doomed to cause inevitable hurt

At one point in your life
You realize there is no one on which to rely
Time to face the painful truth
As you finally open your eyes

The only one you have is yourself
So learn to treat it right
No one can be relied upon to carry you
Through your inescapable plight.
