Silver Linings from 1993 by TAYLOR ALXNDR

I make my bed with silver linings
I know the day, it could get worse
Try to treat the truth like medicine, yeah
Doesn’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
