Şarkı sözleri

If you always expect the worst

You’ll suffer your whole life

And even if the worst should come

It only means you suffered twice

You’re no stranger to crests and troughs

You’ve been up and down

You’ve given it your best and lost

I know it’ll mess ya head up when every shot

Has hit the post or it’s been close

And I get why you’d get pissed off

But too often the author of our demise is ourself

So be cautious with the story that you write and then tell

And before you decide that it’s all a write off

Just for once let your inner cynic take the night off

You don’t always have to think the worst

I used to have it bad, so don’t worry you aren’t the first

When someone knocked at my door

It meant I was getting robbed

When I was driving at night

It meant I was getting stopped

Private number calling

Meant that somebody died

Applying for a job

Meant someone else was more qualified

Meeting someone new meant

We won’t have the same humour

And a minor headache meant that it’s a brain tumour

If you always expect the worst

You’ll suffer your whole life

And even if the worst should come

It only means you suffered twice

It only means you’ve suffered twice

I beg you don’t waste your life

There’s still a shot things just might

Go right

Fear makes us risk averse

And mixed with a nervous disposition

Paralysis occurs

Over analysis is a curse

Overactive amygdala

I’m built to expect the worst

I figure

This verse is a safe vantage point

I’m not a gambling man

But if ya had a coin

And flipped it

I’d call heads and expect tails

I guess failure’s my default

Is that the fault of a family void

Of ambition or a condition

Of being raised

In working class Britain

When Thatcherism reigned?

I was a minor when miners

Were made redundant

When balances hit minuses

I find myself wondering

If coming up in that climate

Meant them ideas funnelled in

To my mind

And that environment and I have become one

You learn to internalise the assumption

That something will go wrong

I’ll be surprised if doesn’t

Small towns where boundaries count

Where we all look inwards

There’s bound to be doubt

Maybe it’s just this town

Maybe its just the north

Or maybe it’s the country

‘Cause I struggle to endorse

The cynicism

That’s inherent in Britain

Where giving compliments

Comes second to criticisms

We’re experts at expressing our misgivings

At kissing teeth and tutting

As if everything’s shit and

Look how that affects our everyday language

You ask if I’m alright

I say I’m not bad, which

Is strange ‘cause I’m good

But I’m not expressing this

Instead I say not bad

The word bad gets the emphasis

Now that’s subtle but that the words that we choose

Repeated over time turn into our attitudes

So if I’m good, why would I focus on bad?

A Subconscious habit most of us don’t know we have

And if you’re like me

And if it’s in your nature to be inward facing

You could probably write a dissertation

On your limitations

We’re so used to that

Cycle of anticipation

Then disappointment

Then disengagement

The rope

That Your fingertips slipped away from

Is called hope

And I lost my grip on the same one

But still

I have to believe that despite

Every habit I inherit

Every myth I recite

There’s still a possibility

Even if it’s slight

That things just might

I said there’s still a possibility

Even if it’s slight

That things just might

Go right
