Too much grey

I wish that my life were more clear cut,
That I wasn't forever stuck in this rut,
Making decisions without knowing why,
I sit with my head in my hands and I cry.

I am trying to make life easier for you
but I'm always wrong, whatever I do,
When I try to please one, the other's upset,
Nothing is worth the abuse that I get.

I wish that someone would help me with this,
I shoot for the goal, yet somehow I miss,
If only my life were coloured black and white,
With no choices to make, there would be no need to fight.

But I know that my wish will never come true,
So I'll carry on helping, that's all I can do
but just do me a favour, please try to see,
That when you two fight, in the middle - there's me!

Black and white? I have far too much grey,
I am trying to help so please hear what I say,
I'm not involved and though I do my best,
I can't do it all, you must do the rest.

So sit down together and talk it all through,
If you listen very carefully to the others' point of view,
You may find what you said was right all along,
It's the way that you said it that may have been wrong.
