Silver Lining (2014 Version)

Can you see what I have become?
I've grown so cold I'm getting numb down to the bone,
Because being real never worked out for me.
Playing these games is such a waste of time,
Somewhere down the line we'll just do this again,
I wish you could take me or leave me as I am.
Drown your sorrow in this bottle,
It's full of the things I'll never say to you.
What you felt was placebo,
Those stories that we wrote,
Are nothing more than ghosts
Of time we spent.
And you know that I know,
As long as the wind blows,
I'll always be here searching for a silver lining in this.
Get off my back she said to me,
Well get off my chest, you should have seen yourself,
A few drinks and you miss me,
I told you not to kiss me,
But you still did.
And now you pull me under,
Fuck with my head and steal my thunder,
How typical and it's no wonder,
I'm stupid enough to think that there's something left.
You always want what you can't get,
And I always want what I'll regret,
Try and walk a day in my shoes,
You'll never know exactly how I feel.
I can't get you out of my head,
But I can't get out of my own bed,
Done letting this weigh me down,
I guess I'll see you around.
What you felt was placebo,
Those stories that we wrote,
Are nothing more than ghosts
Of time we spent.
And you know that I know,
As long as the wind blows,
I'll always be here searching for a silver lining in this.
I'll look on the bright side!
