The fountain was off.
|
This is the first time I've been back to the city in months.
|
I'm trying to hold it together but irony's found cracks in the foundation.
|
And you know,
|
I try so hard to be some great white hope
|
But I can't shake the feeling that tonight I'm gonna end up shaking in bed alone.
|
|
I'm not a self-help book; I'm just a fucked up kid.
|
I had to take my own advice and I did.
|
Now I'm waiting for it to sink in.
|
|
Expect me standing tall, back against the wall,
|
'Cause what I learned was
|
It's not about forcing happiness;
|
It's about not letting the sadness win.
|
|
I don't have roses in the closet
|
But I've got pictures in a drawer
|
It's everything left in me
|
Not to stare at them anymore.
|
I walked upstairs and shaved my beard.
|
I felt like I was holding sadness here
|
(I was holding sadness here)
|
|
I'm not a self-help book; I'm just a fucked up kid.
|
I had to take my own advice and I did.
|
Now I'm waiting for it to sink in.
