Dear Midlife

Dear midlife We have a crises Everyday I'm going crazy And I can't fight it Dear midlife Now I come from a small town My parents only wish was for me to settle down Get married and have kids of your own Get a job, get a home and get a loan Get this and get that and get along Now here I am overthinking aloud Couldn't stick to a job Couldn't make my parents proud Sometimes I think do I have no ambition? Sometimes I think am I too proud? Too proud to work for someone And not tough enough to stand out Dear midlife Feels I am losing A race in which I was not invited Dear midlife Now I have a wife who earns us bread Of her I am really proud But this world wants me to be a man The man of the house The man who never cries The man who provides And the man who's never down and out There's a friend of mine From the years of yore He's a big shot lawyer Who just got a divorce But he's a millionaire And the society loves him more We drink together He tells me he hates himself to the core I guess we're all a part of the same boat Dear midlife, we drown our sorrows In whiskies and rums As if there's no tomorrow Dear midlife, we have a crises Everyday I'm going crazy And I can't fight it Dear midlife Dear midlife Dear midlife Dear midlife
