Like sand thru the hourglass

so are the days of out lives" it seems like every time i get something going it falls apart right in my hands it seems like every time i get it figured out and i have no doubt, that's when i'm farthest from the truth my world is breaking down around me i see my destroyed world in front of me any and every thing i trusted i weep for my world disgusted i always learn the hard way, there ain't an easy way to learn that's what i've learned was i tought the right things tought the right? i don't know and that is all i know
