Sure, there is a great divide
between what you have
and what you're longing for
True, you have been denied
what you think is yours
but you are not the only one

Don't feel sorry for yourself
(that's what you do when love goes wrong)
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Don't feel sorry for yourself
(that's what you do when she is gone)

Fool if you still believe
that the world at large
is like Disneyland
Cruel, don't deny it
You can steer a boat
but you'll never rule the waves

Don't feel sorry for yourself
(that's what you do when love goes wrong)
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Don't feel sorry for yourself
(that's what you do when she is gone)
Don't feel sorry

It might be lonely at the top
and the mountains may be steep
It sure as hell is crowded
where I sleep, where I sleep

Don't feel sorry for yourself
(that's what you do when love goes wrong)
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Don't feel sorry for yourself
(that's what you do when she is gone)
I do my crying in the car
I keep on playing my guitar
Don't feel sorry

True, there is a great divide
between what you want
and what you've got so far
