Want What You Get
Quelle: Spotify
I was lost, I was feeling abused
With my heart on my sleeve dripping blood on my shoes
Walked up to the bar and I ordered a drink
Then realised that I had no money
But a man in the corner said son, it's on me,
The condition is only you tell me your story
I watched you walk in about an hour ago
I can tell you're I need of a friend
I said, I don't mean to be rude
But it's none of your business
I came here alone I'm just here to get pissed
If you've nothing better to do with your time
Why don't you just head on home?"
He said, well that's fair enough
But if you want that drink
Or even a few you might just wanna think
About what brought you here and my offer to you
Is simple to lend you an ear
So we sat at the bar and I poured out my heart
Explained how my world had just fallen apart
He said sometimes a man thinks he knows what he wants
But it's not really what he needs
He said the trick is to want what you get
Not to get what you want
Learn to forgive, learn to forget
Surrender control and you'll start to accept
That you don't know what's best for you
I said it sounds idealistic, my problems are real
I know just what I need, I know just how I feel
There's a burning inside me, it won't let me go
And your words offer no consolation
He said believe what you will but it's my guarantee
That life brings exactly the lessons you need
And the quicker you learn that, the sooner you'll free
All the pain that is keeping you down
He said the trick is to want what you get
Not to get what you want
Learn to forgive, learn to forget
Surrender control and you'll start to accept
That you don't know what's best for you
