That, my friend

From now on
there are a few things
I want you to remember.

Just some quick notes
to guide you into this life
you have chosen.

From now on,
whenever you wake up
and you fell a nagging ache
you can't really tell
where it's throbbing.

Well, that, my friend,
is called thinking only
about yourself.

And then when one very day
you realise no one actually cares about you
and you've been alone
for more than you'd like
and everybody around you
is not really on your side.

Well, that, my friend,
is called thinking only
about yourself.

And finally
if one day you are sorry
for every step you ever took
and every right becomes a wrong
every dream is completely shattered
and every choice turns into one big regret.

Well, that, my friend,
is called I told you so.
