Brightside

Scared to death
Terrified
This is it
Welcome to your best life
Breathe it in
Spit it out
Happy face
But I'm numb now
On the edge
Of alive
Sick of being
Sad on the inside
It's okay
I'm used to it
This is just the way it is
But I keep looking
On the bright side of life
'Cause it only gets darker
We all need something to keep believing
So I keep looking
On the bright side of life
'Cause it only gets harder
We all need something to keep us feeling
'Cause it only gets darker
Fake a smile
And self-destruct
Count it down
Four, three, two, one
I'm over it
All the bullshit
And this fucked up world
I'm living in
Where everything
I'm choking on
Is supposed to help
And keep me hanging on
Yeah, ain't it fun
So enjoy the ride
'Cause life's a bitch and then you die
So I keep looking
On the bright side of life
'Cause it only gets darker
We all need something to keep believing
So I keep looking
On the bright side of life
'Cause it only gets harder
We all need something to keep us feeling
'Cause it only gets darker
'Cause it only gets darker
Scared to death
Freaking out
Remembering
This is what it's all about
That love kills
That love dies
But don't sweat it
Maybe in the next life
You'll be perfect
You'll be flawless
You'll be careless
With no problems
So this is it
Ain't it cool
It's everything you wanted but nobody likes you
So just keep looking
On the bright side of life
'Cause it only gets darker
We all need something to keep believing
So just keep looking
On the bright side of life
'Cause it only gets harder
We all need something to keep us feeling
'Cause it only gets darker
This is it
This is it
This is it ('cause it only gets darker)
This is it
This is it
This is it ('cause it only gets darker)
This is it
This is it
This is it ('cause it only gets darker)
'Cause it only gets darker
