I’ve been twisting and turning in a space that’s too small
I’ve been drawing the line and watching it fall
You’ve been closing me in , closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart
Well I can’t explain why it’s not enough
Cause I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It’s the better thing to do
It’s time to surrender
It’s been too long pretending
There’s no use in trying
When the pieces don’t fit anymore
The pieces don’t fit here anymore
You pulled me under so I had to give in
Such a beautiful mess that’s breaking my skin
Well I’ll hide all the bruises; I’ll hide all the damage that’s done
But I show how I’m feeling until all the feeling has gone
Why I can’t explain why it’s not enough
Cause I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It’s the better thing to do
It’s time to surrender
It’s been too long pretending
There’s no use in trying
When the pieces don’t fit anymore
The pieces don’t fit anymore
You pulled me under so I had to give in
Such a beautiful mess that’s breaking my skin
Well I’ll hide all the bruises; I’ll hide all the damage that’s done
But I show how I’m feeling until all the feeling has gone
I don’t know why
Well I can’t explain why it’s not enough
Cause I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It’s the better thing to do
It’s time to surrender
It’s been too long pretending
There’s no use in trying
When the pieces don’t fit anymore
The pieces don’t fit anymore
The pieces don’t fit anymore
Oh, don’t misunderstand how I feel
Cause I’ve tried, yes I’ve tried
Still I don’t know why
No I don’t know why
MONEY
Of my 28 years of existence one of the things that I still cannot fully understand is the concept of one important paper. MONEY.
They say that MONEY keeps the world go round.
YES.
They say that money buys you happiness.
YES.
They say money keeps you ALIVE.
YES.
But it’s still Paper right?
YES.
This was and still sometimes is my concept of money. Until one day, I was at the groceries buying my usual stuff, FRUITS, COOK BOOK sometimes a magazine, CHIPS and Yakult for my kids. These are my usual stuff. Then I saw a man in front of me. Buying his usual stuff as well. When I say usual it’s most probably the everyday need of a person. His usual stuff includes a sardine, bread, skyflakes and one instant noodle. Then it made me think, do I REALLY need the things that I’m holding?
That made me wonder. And every time I doubt the credibility and importance of money I always go back to that time at the groceries. It’s not the beggars nor the kids who sleep at the streets that make me change my mind because these people somewhat CHOSES to live their life that way. But that MAN at the groceries is a person with a JOB (works at the supermarket as well). He is a person who wants to live a decent life. And MAYBE just maybe is trying to cut on his expense because he wants to give his family a life worth living.
