When life gives you lemons, You squeeze them in your eyes, You don't think twice, regret Or get to question why. For it is written in fate For it is how it is to be, You don't get to choose it , And you don't get to cry. You'll fight it, hate it, neglect it and whine, You'll curse it, resist it, run from it and hide. But it'll catch you one way or the other, It's better if it catches you this way than the other. For it stings like a bee, Then pains like a wound And you may think you are enough to take it, Before it comes back and bites you in the moon. One shot, two shot, three shot, four Glasses become empty but the lemons keep coming more. It's no fun with the acidic Sourness creeping into my soul. Yet it keeps coming more, more And more... Call it fate, Call it luck, Call it magic, Whatever you must, It is easier to blame others Than to put myself under the bus. A screw-up here, A ****** there, One by one my life has scattered everywhere. So I take these lemons that life owes And the ones that I already own, Trying hard not to put them all in my drink, Days go by but it feels like a blink, Maybe I do down them all Maybe that's become my thing. But hey, I don't whine about it anymore, Or fight it, hate it or neglect it Life keeps changing erratically, This is the truth, this is my new reality.

Too Many Lemons
When life gives you lemons, You squeeze them in your eyes, You don't think twice, regret Or get to question why. For it is written in fate For it is how it is to be, You don't get to choose it , And you don't get to cry. You'll fight it, hate it, neglect it and whine, You'll curse it, resist it, run from it and hide. But it'll catch you one way or the other, It's better if it catches you this way than the other. For it stings like a bee, Then pains like a wound And you may think you are enough to take it, Before it comes back and bites you in the moon. One shot, two shot, three shot, four Glasses become empty but the lemons keep coming more. It's no fun with the acidic Sourness creeping into my soul. Yet it keeps coming more, more And more... Call it fate, Call it luck, Call it magic, Whatever you must, It is easier to blame others Than to put myself under the bus. A screw-up here, A ****** there, One by one my life has scattered everywhere. So I take these lemons that life owes And the ones that I already own, Trying hard not to put them all in my drink, Days go by but it feels like a blink, Maybe I do down them all Maybe that's become my thing. But hey, I don't whine about it anymore, Or fight it, hate it or neglect it Life keeps changing erratically, This is the truth, this is my new reality.
