The Good
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.
Gone is the way we used to smile, my dear
Hope doesn't spring from anywhere
Watching the world forget to breathe
Wish we could stop and feel the breeze
But I know there's no point in waiting for what I can't see
Holding my chest as all my tears fall out
My mind's in a spin as all the pain pours down
What can I do to make these days go by?
I haven't the strength to make the rainfall die
Just wanna remember the good
Good, good, good, good
Wanna remember the good
Good, good, good, good
What can I do to make these days go by?
When darkness surrounds me, but I see the light
Just wanna remember the good, yeah
Gone are the lies we used to tell ourselves
There's only so long we can live a fairy tale
Innocent children, stolen youth, yeah
It's all fun and games until you lose
But I know there's no growing up if you can't face the truth
Holding my chest as all my tears fall out
My mind's in a spin as all the pain pours down
What can I do to make these days go by?
I haven't the strength to make the rainfall die
Just wanna remember the good
Good, good, good, good
Wanna remember the good
Good, good, good, good
What can I do to make these days go by?
When darkness surrounds me, but I see the light
Just wanna remember the good
Just wanna remember the good
Good, good, good, good
Wanna remember the good
Good, good, good, good
What can I do to make these days go by?
When darkness surrounds me, but I see the light
Just wanna remember the good, yeah
