Joy and pain are my source of inspiration
But I really should start thinking about self-preservation
I'm not one to take the easy way
Give it my all, even if there is no reason for me to stay

Don’t do things half-assed
But it’s time for me to realize that my chances have passed
Yet I keep on fighting, fighting to the last little bit
whilst failing miserably and it is starting to pay off to quit

Guess it's in my nature to keep having hope
but now, is the time to let go of the rope
Ending up alone, it frightens me
but what is, has to be

Just telling a girl you like her, apparently isn't good enough
Being straightforward as I am, probably is a bit too rough
Time to throw around the rudder
Changing plans abruptly like that, many would shudder

Still, I will: Keep It Simple Stupid
I'll refuse to act, on influences from cupid
Eventually there will be another chance
And maybe it will turn out to be romance

She, will have to be the one to act
