Heard this oldie in Starbucks the other day and re-fell in love with it

It’s hard to rely on my good intentions,
When my head’s full of things that I can’t mention.
Seems I usually get things right,
But I can’t understand what I did last night.

And it’s hard to rely on my own good senses,
When I miss so much that requires attention.
I Have to laugh at myself sometimes;
And I can see that I’m not blind.

There’s little relief.
Give us reprieve, oh
For all the things I’ve left behind.
I’m positive that I’m not blind.

I’m not afraid things won’t get better.
But it feels like this has gone on forever.
You have to cry with your own blue tears;
Have to laugh with your own good cheer.

And, it’s hard to rely on my good intentions,
When my head’s full of things that I can’t mention.
Seems I usually get things right,
But I can’t understand what I did last night.

There’s little relief.
Give us reprieve, oh.
Imagining the world outside.
I’m positive that I’m not blind.

I can’t be hard on you,
’cause you know I’ve been there too.
Learned a lot of things from you....

Oh, but life gives little relief.
Give us reprieve, oh.
When everyone is cold as ice,
I clinch my fists and close my eyes.
Imagining the world outside.
But I can see that I’m not blind.

Quite eloquent, if I do say do myself.

One thing about getting older, you're never at a shortage of good music. Something's always popping in your head :D.
