Strum
D-DU-UDU
The fountain was off.
This is the first time Ive been back to the city in months.
Im trying to hold it together but ironys found cracks in the foundation.
And you know,
I try so hard to be some great white hope
But I cant shake the feeling that tonight Im gonna end up shaking in bed
alone.
Im not a self-help book; Im just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
Now Im waiting for it to sink in.
Expect me standing tall, back against the wall,
'Cause what I learned was
Its not about forcing happiness;
Its about not letting the sadness win.
I dont have roses in the closet
But Ive got pictures in a drawer
Its 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)
Im not a self-help book; Im just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
Now Im waiting for it to sink in.
Expect me standing tall, back against the wall,
'Cause what I learned was
Its not about forcing happiness;
Its about not letting the sadness win.
I dont have roses in the closet
But Ive got pictures in a drawer
Its everything left in me
Not to stare at them anymore.
Im not a self-help book; Im just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
Im not a self-help book; Im just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
