Ostrava (Czech pronunciation: [ˈostrava] ( listen), German: Ostrau, Polish: Ostrawa) is the third largest city in the Czech Republic and the second largest urban agglomeration after Prague. Located close to the Polish border, it is also the administrative center of the Moravian-Silesian Region and of the Municipality with Extended Competence[clarification needed]. Ostrava was candidate for the title of European Capital of Culture 2015. Ostrava is located at the confluence of the Ostravice, Oder, Lučina and Opava rivers. Its history and growth have been largely affected by exploitation and further use of the high quality black coal deposits discovered in the locality, giving the town a look of an industrial city and a nickname of the “steel heart of the republic” (Czech: ocelové srdce republiky) during the communist era of Czechoslovakia. Many of the heavy industry companies are being closed down or transformed, yet the city remains one of the most polluted in the EU.
Ostrava was named after the river Ostrá (meaning sharp) which today is called Ostravice.
i'm sorry that i'm not what you expected (nothing ever works out)
need i ignore you now
i can't live facing these regrets
i won't live without them
how will things turn out
you threw it all away, is that how you see things
i guess we live through different eyes
we see through different pasts
i won't be what you want me to be
should i try a little less, just to suffer all the more
is this what you want from me
are you ashamed of me
could this hurt anymore
and this may be the most important thing i'll ever say
but if it's all the same
i'll bide my words and wait for better ones to take their place
and this i beg of you
please don't think out loud
and keep your life to yourself
i'm not the one to volunteer to suffocate
nothing never works out...
it never works out
nothing ever works out
it never works out
