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