Local Man Ruins Everything |
| 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. |
| 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’m not a self-help book; |
| I’m just a fucked up kid. |
| I had to take my own advice and I did. |
| I’m not a self-help book; |
| I’m just a fucked up kid. |
| I had to take my own advice and I did. |
