The Misery of Getting What You Want

the misery of what you really want
the thing you know
will make your life complete
the thing you know
will make your problems
small
and when you get it:
permanent defeat
when you were holding on
to win it all
when you were holding on
so grim and sure
and when you get the thing
- just what you want!
and nothing's changed,
you're what you were before.
The misery of getting what you want
I never had to go through that
whew

thank God

imagine

how horrible.
