Every day you must say

So, how do I feel about my life?

Anything is hard to find

When you will not open your eyes

When will you accept yourself?

I am sick and I am dull

And I am plain

How dearly I'd love to get carried away

Oh, but dreams have a knack

Of just not coming true

And time is against me now...oh

Oh, who and what to blame?

Oh, anything is hard to find

When you will not open your eyes

When will you accept yourself

For heaven's sake?

Anything is hard to find

When you will not open your eyes

Every day you must say

Oh, how do I feel about the past?

Others conquered love - but I ran

I sat in my room and I drew up a plan

Oh, but plans can fall through

(as so often they do)

And time is against me now

And there's no-one left to blame

Oh, tell me when will you

When will you accept your life?

(The one that you hate)

For anything is hard to find

When you will not open your eyes

Every day you must say

Oh, how do I feel about my shoes?

They make me awkward and plain

How dearly I would love to kick with the fray

But I once had a dream

(and it never came true)

And time is against me now

Time is against me now

And there's no one but yourself to blame

Oh, anything is hard to find

When you will not open your eyes

Anything is hard to find

(for heaven's sake)

Anything is hard to find

When you will not open your eyes

When will you accept yourself?

When?

When?

When?

When?
