Lyric Idea: Been down so long

She flew away, like ill gotten gain.
She stayed around till there was pain.
Now people like to play it easy
No one likes to hang it tough
Cause when the going gets going
Enough is enough.
But I’ve been down so long that it don’t even matter anymore
Took me along time
To learn this lesson well
You don’t have to keep everything that comes
You don’t have to stay in hell
But sometimes it’s easier to stay put than to move along
It’s always safer to be wrong.
But I’ve been down so long that it don’t even matter anymore.
You can choose the high road
Or settle for what’s left
And thank them all for the crumbs that they throw you
I only want the best, for you.
You been down so long that it don’t even matter anymore
What are you waiting for, when there’s nothing left to lose
But it’s up to you, the decisions that you choose.
