In A Nutshell

I've made a beautiful way
Out of grey, blue days and a heartache
Maybe this time I'll catch a real break

Mama, she taught me well
Put me through just enough hell
So I know there's nothing I can't take

I think I was Papa's favorite
And just as nature would have it
I didn't fall far from the tree
Dealing with all of the same shit
In therapy, trynna to break it
Still he gave this light to me

Love gives birth to pain, you know
And pain gives birth to lonely people
So there you go, so there you go
That's life they say in a nutshell

So there you go, so there you have it
That's life they say, it's a creature of habit

Flowers and babies are sweet
But I'm talking love that don't leave us
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Like God, I've made things I regret
Said stuff I wish I could take back
But I wrote this song for me

Love gives birth to pain, you know
And pain gives birth to lonely people
So there you go, so there you go
That's life they say in a nutshell

So there you go, so there you have it
That's life they say, it's a creature of habit

I've made a beautiful way

Mama, she taught me well
Put me through just enough hell
So I know there's nothing I can't take
