All That Disappointment

The Ropes

Compositor: The Ropes

There's no space under the bed
It won't fit in a closet
There's no room on the floor
Even if you had a mansion
And I don't see it on the streets
It's not mixed in with the trash
Everyone I see
Walks with empty hands

And as they pass by
I'm thinking
Where do they keep all that disappointment?
Something's not right
Tell me
Where do they keep all that disappointment?
And will they take mine?
Will they take mine?

So where do you keep
The letters that never came?
Where are the broken promises?
And the ones that got away?
Where do you keep the dreams that never came true?
The friends who weren't there for you?
The life that wasn't waiting for you?
It all can't be inside of you

And that's why
I'm asking
Where do you keep all that disappointment?
As you pass by
I'm thinking
Where do you keep all that disappointment?
'Cause you look just fine
You seem just fine
