Silver Linings

I make my bed with silver linings

I know the day, it could get worse

I try to treat the truth like medicine, yeah

It won’t help if it don’t hurt

There’s always gonna be ups

I’m always gonna let you down

I can put on my brave face

Parade it around town

I’ve been a cynic, a critic, an outright non-believer

When the message relayed couldn’t be any clearer

That I’m...

Never gonna be tough enough

Not gonna win that fight

Bite my tongue and hold it in

Swallow my pride

There’ll never come a day

Never gonna hear me say

I’m not okay

My mom calls, I can’t explain it

Feels like I’m circling the drain

The sun is out but I can’t enjoy

Because I know soon will come rain

There’s always gonna be ups

I’m always gonna let you down

I can put on my brave face

Parade it around town

I’ve been a cynic, a critic, an outright non-believer

When the message relayed couldn’t be any clearer

That I’m...

Never gonna be tough enough

Not gonna win that fight

Bite my tongue and hold it in

Swallow my pride

There’ll never come a day

Never gonna hear me say

I’m not okay

I lost time pretending everything’s okay

Ignoring the signs that point the other way

Spent so many years, trying to find that silver lining

But now it seems that I’m finding

Seems that I’m finding

Never gonna be tough enough

Not gonna win that fight

Bite my tongue and hold it in

Swallow my pride

There’ll never come a day

Never gonna hear me say

I’m not okay

Never gonna be tough enough

Not gonna win that fight

Bite my tongue and hold it in

Swallow my pride

There’ll never come a day

Never gonna hear me say

I’m not okay

Never gonna

Never gonna

Hear me say

MOM:

Hey lovebug, it’s mom

I’m checking on you

Text me back, well, I’d prefer you call me

Let me know you’re okay, and safe

Alright?

Bye
