...Life...

That's life, my dear, just as you said
and, yes the problem's in our head.

Self-respect we cannot fake
We can try, but it won't take.

We need to learn to be alone, to love ourselves
and make a home...just for us...

To live alone we need to be...
content in our own company...

It should never, ever be...
someone else's job to make us happy
