Lyrics If You Had A Bad Time - Alkaline Trio

If You Had A Bad Time

If you had a bad time
At one of my parties
Well I wouldn’t expect to be seeing you soon
And that’s fine
You have to know what and why
Those things make you happy
You have to know that a second guess
Ain’t worth a try
Just some words of advice
Maybe you’ve heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself
If it lands you in hell, well at least now you know
Loud and clear is your heart
Big and bright are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down
Why you’re one of those things, I don’t know
No big deal, gotta go
If you’re up to your ears
In blood, sweat, and wasted years
I’m hoping you’re going to open your throat
And just scream
You have to know who and why
Which ones miss you when you die
You have to know that a second guess
Ain’t worth the salt in your eyes
Just some words of advice
Maybe you’ve heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself
If it lands you in hell, well at least now you know
Loud and clear is your heart
Big and bright are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down
Why you’re one of those things, I don’t know
No big deal
It just sits on my shoulders, you’re breaking my neck
We get crazy with age, now you’re under my bed
And it s dark all the time
Just some words of advice
Maybe you’ve heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself
If it lands you in hell, well at least now you know
Loud and clear is your heart
Big and bright are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down
Why you’re one of those things, I don’t know
No big deal, here I go
