The Sun Doesn't Shine Like It Used To

I've made a lot of mistakes
So I gotta apologize
For every person hurt
Thinking theyre looking at some honest eyes
I played the cards wrong
Like the people that I idolized
Ain't ever been religious
But karmas always prophesied
I used to completely deceive
Only to get what I need
Conceited and maniacal
I just needed to leave
A toxic situation spread
Wherever I went
I started to realize it was myself
Getting everyone upset
I'm forever in debt
To the lessons that I was taught
To become a better person
Is a path I forever walk
I root for the underdogs
Give a helping hand
Put all my pride aside
And focused on being a man
Came up with a plan
To get my life on the right track
Lost a lost of friends
When I decided not to write back
But it is what it is
I had to get on with my biz
Build a life with my wife
And be a father to my kids

I know you don't know this
When I'm cold and so focused
Don't go like it's hopeless

Everyday I fight
To grow without boldness
The sorrow in my eyes
I hope you don't notice

Got some miles
Drivin in the rain
So when I crack a smile
Its always been
through the pain

Preaching to the choir
With every single song that I sang
I just hate that today
The sun don't shine the same

The sun really ain't nothin
But a big ball of flame
But in the meantime
It's keeping us all entertained
So we can sit and watch it
Until it tires out
Like it's suspended on wires
As it starts sliding down
The days over
A little more gray and colder
A lot of my peers seem
Like they can't stay sober
Sometimes I feel like I
Should suggest therapy
But who am I to judge
It don't seem real fair to me
They miss the sun too
I know they want it to return
But it's shown a different side
And we can't stop the turn
I try to be thankful
That I get to watch it burn
And every moment that
It's here
Has always been
A lesson learned
So I guess here comes the end
Of what I've been addressin
From our habits, sadness,
Vices and all our stressin
And now we've become adults
With unanswered questions
Cause that sunshine no longer
Cures our depression

I know you don't know this
When I'm cold and so focused
Don't go like it's hopeless

Everyday I fight
To grow without boldness
The sorrow in my eyes
I hope you don't notice

Got some miles
Drivin in the rain
So when I crack a smile
Its always been
through the pain

Preaching to the choir
With every single song that I sang
I just hate that today
The sun don't shine the same
