This Glass Is Half Empty

I won't run away
It's not like yesterday
I'm not twenty one

But this is still going on
It's still going wrong
Heart aches and breaks she's had plenty

With her head hanging down
And that beautiful frown

Evidently
This glass is half empty...

And that's the way it's meant to be
In the sense that it's not meant to be

I won't hold that thought
I'll only go and get caught
Incidentally,

She says it's not the only thing that she feels
But it's the only thing that she feels
That feels real
Consequently

This glass is half empty...
And that's the way it's meant to be
In the sense that it's not meant to be

And she says: "You think you're the one
who could fill it? This pain, you could kill
it. Boy you'll only go spill it,"
So eloquently she sings

This glass is half empty...
And that's the way it's meant to be
In the sense that it's not meant to be

And you get what you deserve
But no one deserves anything
Let me down gently
This glass is half empty...
