About this song...
Sometimes when we're feeling down about things, about life, about ourselves, and about the ways in which others have let us down, we focus so much on this negativity that it overtakes us and we miss the true meaning of what we're feeling: real growth. Disappointment is just a driving force to move forward in life, to strive for better interactions, and self-development. We learn so much about what we want from life by learning from the experiences we do NOT want to repeat. Growth from difficulty, while sometimes painful, is ultimately positive.

Lyrics: Melissa Axel (ASCAP)
everyone must live up to these expectations
that we all have for each other, unrealistic, ain't it?
wouldn't it be easier to accept us all the way we are now
and love each other as we grow out of our disappointment
(we grow out of our disappointment)
they all said it was a phase I would grow out of
and I know that's how it goes through your whole life
weaving back, forth, up and down and in and out of
joy, love, hate, rage, peace, fear, fire, and disappointment
(we grow out of our disappointment)
all it means is
there could be more
left unsaid, left undone
all it means is
there are answers
you have not searched far enough for
you have not gone deep enough for
you have not looked hard enough for
and there are questions you have not asked yourself
(we grow out of our disappointment)
you know how sometimes you can sit there and say a word
over and over and over again
until it loses all its meaning
until it is nothing but sound
gargled, muffled, you can choke a word
you can beat a word to death
disappointment
