Try

We make our lives the way we like them

Or rather we try

Sometimes it just doesn’t happen that way

It all just falls apart

Take a dear friend of mine for instance

We were very close

But she was the one with a solitary path

I liked company

There was confrontation between us

Neither side backed down

In the end there was harsh betrayal

I should have made peace

I was so, so mistaken, so wrong

It all just fell apart

Now daily I lay weeping in pain

I tried life my way

And it just didn’t happen like that
