100 Years
Embracing Patience: A Century for True Love
Lyrics
I'm not gonna say everything is okay
I refuse to pretend that everything is fine.
'Cause okay is not the way that I feel.
Because feeling okay is not my current emotional state.
I'm not gonna be any fools' Christmas tree
I won't be a naive and easily fooled person.
Let'em hang gifts on me that aren't real
I won't allow others to shower me with fake gifts and false gestures.
I'm not gonna take second best
I won't settle for second best in any aspect of my life.
I've got no use for the rest.
I have no interest in things or people that are not the best.
World you better hear what I say
I want the world to listen to what I'm about to say.
'Cause for me true love could be
Because, for me, true love may be a distant possibility.
100 years away.
It might take a hundred years for true love to come my way.
I'm not giving in to a smile or a grin
I won't be swayed by a mere smile or grin.
On a face huh I might never see again.
I won't be influenced by superficial expressions on a face I may never encounter again.
I'm not gonna fly in some big phoney sky
I won't engage in something that is bound to fail, represented by a phoney sky.
On a ride that I know just can't win.
I won't take part in a journey that I know is destined for failure.
And I'm not gonna take second best
I won't settle for anything less than the best.
No I've got no use for the rest.
I have no interest in anything or anyone that is not the best.
So world you better hear what I say
I want the world to pay attention to my perspective.
Cause for me true love could be
Because, for me, true love might be a hundred years away.
100 years away.
It could take a significant amount of time for genuine love to come into my life.
And if it is, I'll wait.
And if that's the case, I am willing to patiently wait.
