BURNED

Tragic.  The system gamed him & he gamed himself through  selective inattention  to the things that really mattered, collecting details & minutiae, listening but not hearing, an overspecialized generalist.  Talent is a wasting asset; timing is everything.

THE WORLD TURNS ALL AROUND HER

Well if you think she's everything 
You could want
And if you think she's everything that could be
Well I still think the world turns all around her
And I still wish that she belonged to me
I don't know how I ever could have thought
That I'd let her go and still be just the same
Well I found out my world turned all around her
And everywhere I go I hear her name
Somewhere along the way I don't know why
I thought that I would want to let her go
But now whenever I see her with you I
Realize how much I didn't know
So if you tell her every day you love her
And if you tell her everything she could be
You'll find out that  
Your world will turn around her
You'll feel the same if you should set her free
