You’re shouting, you’re screaming, you’re angry, I know
You’re fuming, you’re livid, you’re bothered, and so
You’ve made this discussion a sermon, a spiel
An endless oration, one-sided ordeal
I sit and listen, my eyes on the ground
I sit and listen, but I’m winning this round
Not thinking, not planning your arguments out
Not thinking, not planning, you shout, shout, shout, SHOUT!
Keep screaming, keep shouting, I think that you’ll find
By defending your point, you’re just proving mine.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
