lyrics

Doom and gloom, that's all you feel
Try your best to make it real
I guess it's just a part of getting older
Like your hair relocating to your shoulders
So you hit the booze
What's left of the day you lose
It's only yourself you bruise

You crave attention every day
Something real to take away
As intimate as secondhand smoke
or old friends with an inside joke
But it leaves you cold
Like seeing your house get sold
Like watching your dad get old

So you walk around with a cartoon frown
Hide inside it like a dressing gown
You're just naked underneath
Don't want anyone to see
So if asked, you're always okay
Is that just a word you say
Is that just the price you pay?

Doing your best to be blue
'cause without it who are you
It's all you ever do
It's all you ever knew
