Sometimes I get frustrated
by things I cannot change
by things that I cannot control
things I cannot re-arrange
I know these things I cannot change
are things I should ignore
but theres something deep inside me
that wont let me shut that door
And perhaps the thing about this
that frustrates me most of all
is that I cannot change myself
so in this trap I'll always fall
