I wish I could be singing a more optimistic song for you
You know I could really stand to hear one myself
'Cause in the long tradition of terrible years I think this one has really taken the cake
And you know that it's still possible that next year will be even worse
And I should probably tell you it'll be ok, I should tell you that you're gonna see sunnier days
I should say all the things a decent person would say
But you don't wanna hear that bullshit and I don't wanna mess with your head
So let's not pretend that any of this is somehow fair
'Cause it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair
You were searching for the answers but the answers were never there
and I wish I could say I know how you feel, but I honestly have no idea how you feel
And I know I've got nothing useful to say, but I swear I'm still really trying to care
I've got to admit you seem ill-equipped to handle situations like this
Maybe it's because you're so full of hope yet so full of doubt
'Cause even after you stopped believing in God you kept believing that you were the hero of your own story
And that things would just sort of work out
But you and I know better now, yeah you and I know the truth now
And it isn't pretty, and it doesn't have a happy ending
And you're doing your best to ignore the face of the man you can see through the wall in the back of the restaurant
And he's grinning and he's singing
It's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair
You were searching for the answers but the answers were never there
And I don't wanna look on the bright side tonight, and I don't wanna find silver linings tonight
For whatever it's worth I just want you to know I swear I'm still really trying to care
It's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair
You were searching for the answers but the answers were never there
And I don't wanna look on the bright side tonight, and I don't wanna find silver linings tonight
I just gotta remember, I just wanna fucking care
It's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair, it's never fair
You were searching for the answers but the answers were never there
And I wish I could say I know how you feel, but I honestly have no idea how you feel
And I know I've got nothing useful to say, but I swear I'm still really trying to care
