Yet by Eric Jarvis (aka eric.exe) recorded by Futile Hurling

I know there's always something left
That I will never have
But coming to terms with failure's nothing new
Certain goals are empty gains
And failure's always in the air
When trying for the others if we do

Yet I know that I'll never be
Everything I want to be
But I know it doesn't matter anymore

Please excuse me chasing you
But it's surely nothing new to you
And fools like me rush in while wise men talk
In the wastelands children scream
In their prisons grinning captives dream
I know that I can't face that sort of fate

But I know that I'll never be
Everything I want to be
And I know it doesn't matter anymore

Please just stay a while with me
Listen to this misery
Excuse me while I try to close the door
Appreciate my point of view
And maybe tell me what to do
Because I know it doesn't matter anymore

And I know that I'll never be
Everything I want to be
Yet I know it doesn't matter anymore

a brief explanation...each verse is from the perspective of three guys who all went after a then flatmate of mine...the chorus is me...I wrote it after sitting alone in the flat for two days while everyone was away, and as it turned out three days before I found out that one of the guys had raped her the month before...with the tune it's easily the best thing I've ever written
