Disappointment is nothing new,
It may leave at times,
But always comes back to you.

So don't get your hopes up,
Don't aim too high,
They may say they love you,
but most of them lie,
So don't even try.

So don't even try.

Disappointment is nothing new,
It may leave you hopeless,
Alone and confused.

So don't get your hopes up,
But try not to cry,
They may not quite love you,
But most of them try.

So don't get your hopes up,
But try not to cry,
They may not quite love you,
But most of them try.

    This song is great. My favorite by Dntel. The words really are to live by. It puts me in a good mood, even though the lyrics aren't exactly happy. :]
