Claddagh - The Tossers

If your reactions are reflecting immediate gratification

Will you be happy continuing the way you begun?

For If you’re not already happy

Then sadness may be all you have ever known

And you’ll just have to learn to live with it within

Or you’ll have to learn to change and begin again

Well This ring means I love you

But there is no one above you

You are closer to me than a friend

And This ring I have shown you means

I don’t own you, but I know our love could last

'til the end

When you reflect someone else’s life

Well that can cause all strife

When there was nothing but domineering fighting when you were young

So your relationship must work

Because your parents and you are a failure

So to spite them, you live through them

Showing them that yours is strong

But then how did you get here

This attraction to this one here

The one it seems can never live up or is right

You’re embarrassing and hating yourself more

But yet this feeling is familiar

When you’re raised in anxiety, do you truly think

That it’s happiness that steers your sight?

Humility is learning, to be sad anxious and yearning

To shut up and not believe that you deserve

Anything you can’t do for yourself

And never being too selfish, to demand to be happy, or to be served

There is no reason to think that one person can satisfy you in every way of life

It’s only society that tells you that that’s the way that is true

It takes strength to be alone

But your life could be more if you don’t always conform

You’re already in love with more than one person

Although you may not think you can be

For old loves reside most, mostly in our memories

But the fondness remains and it’s still to them you would see

This ring is a promise I am making to you

To endeavor myself and sing for you

To be happy and discover anyway I can try

So my heart and friendship can stay true

Cause my loyalty lies with you

And my love, it will last 'til the end of time
