More often than not
We have experienced sadness
More often than not
We have felt loneliness
More often than not
We have experienced heartache
And more often than not
The pain doesn't go away
How many times have you thought of him today? Last night? All week? How many times have you cried yourself to sleep, thinking what part of you was wrong? What did you do so bad for you to deserve this pain? The searing pain that feels so heavy in your chest that no amount of tears will make it go away?
More often than not
People hurt us
More often than not
It is from people we never expect
And more often than not
We let them
Because more often than not
We are just human beings that are merely trying to survive this cruel world. Hoping that people would change themselves to suit our needs. Hoping that maybe they'd have a heart like ours. Maybe they'd reciprocate the love we give them.
But more often than not
That doesn't happen.
We often disappoint ourselves by hoping and hurting over and over again.
