NO MORE PITY PARTIES
© 2003     Alexandra Celano / David “Cat” Cohen


Had enough of feeling sorry and hopeless
Playing victim, and singing the blues
I’ll plant one foot right in front of the other
Just like my mamma taught me to

I’ll say goodbye to my collection of sorrows
Let them go, they weighed me down
I’ll set my sights on brighter tomorrows
About time I turn my life around

No more pity parties        No more tears to cry
Gonna take control, those days are through
No more pity parties        No more gonna die
It’s time for movin’ on
That’s what I’m gonna do

Out on the street I say hello to a stranger
Skip to my step like never before
My cup half full instead of half empty
Life is right outside my door

My eyes are open, my blessings are endless
Roof over my head, a good job and real friends
Dwellin’ on good days instead of the bad ones
Forgive myself – yes, I’ve finally made amends

No more pity parties        No more tears to cry
Gonna take control, those days are through
No more pity parties        No more gonna die
It’s time for movin’ on
That’s what I’m gonna do

Look at me
Finally free
No more whining
I’ve found my silver lining

No more pity parties        No more tears to cry
Gonna take control, those days are through
No more pity parties        No more gonna die
It’s time for movin’ on
That’s what I’m gonna do
