Ryouga's Song

Every day I search,
Futile though it be,
For a way to peace,
Freedom, necessary.

Think long, Think hard,
That's the way I go,
But every twist and turn I make,
It's the wrong one, don't ya know?

It's hard to look at this wrong,
But every day I've looked,
I've made the same mistake,
The same wrongs, I'm hooked.

I should be the best,
The strongest, in the right,
But every time I try,
I only end up in a fight.

It's all Ranma's fault,
I rant and I rave,
Sure it's what I say,
Not what I believe.

Akane should choose her own path,
But I'm not letting her choose,
I try to make her choose me,
But in that choosing, I loose.

I should take my own medicine,
Foul that it may be,
Try to listen to reason,
Make myself only see.

I know I'm in the wrong,
Yet it feels so like right,
But every time I think that,
I end up in another fight.

"Oh, well," I sigh,
`Cause that's all I can do,
That's all I can think,
When I say, "Ranma, I hate you!"

This time will be different,
I swear by my own curse,
But there goes a robber,
With an old ladies' purse.

When I get back,
All I've sworn is gone,
Lost and forgotten,
Long, long, long gone.
