Brightside

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I woke up on the wrong side of my head

Been looking for the brightside instead

So many times I've been let down

But that never washed my spirit out

I've tasted blood while on the ground

Still every time I stand up proud

I carve these letters across my chest

And I vow to show myself respect

So when my day has come at last

I'll say the words: This too shall pass

I woke up on the wrong side of my head

Been looking for the brightside instead

When all of these people

Keep falling around me

I wonder if I could be next

Let's keep it on the brightside

(Brightside, brightside)

Let's keep it on the brightside

I'm stuck inside the middle of a fight with good and evil

I try my best to mediate but they're both stubborn people

I think I finally figured out this misery equation

The sum of my frustrations minus all my expectations

My therapist said I should try and focus on the future

But every time I try to focus I feel like a loser

My right brain just switched side with my left brain

I woke up on the wrong side, now all I feel is neck pain

I woke up on the wrong side of my head

Been looking for the brightside instead

When all of these people

Keep falling around me

I wonder if I could be next

Let's keep it on the brightside

(Brightside, brightside)

Let's keep it on the brightside

Let's keep it on the brightside

(Brightside, brightside)

Let's keep it on the brightside

So many times I've been let down

But that never washed my spirit out

I've tasted blood while on the ground

Still every time I stand up proud

I woke up on the wrong side of my head

Been looking for the brightside instead

When all of these people

Keep falling around me

I wonder if I could be next

Let's keep it on the brightside

(Brightside, brightside)

Let's keep it on the brightside

Let's keep it on the brightside

(Brightside, brightside)

Let's keep it on the brightside

Let's keep it on the brightside

(Brightside, brightside)

Let's keep it on the brightside

Let's keep it on the brightside

(Brightside, brightside)

Let's keep it on the brightside
