Nothing They Say
Here we are again, like so many times before
Drunk, depressed, and crying about how you can't be happy
Why do you even bother, you know how this night will end
Another requiem for your long gone self esteem
But you'll say it all anyway, like so many times before
But don't you wonder why...

When nothing they say can make you feel better,
Why do you keep asking?
They tell you it's alright, they tell you you're a good man
They tell you look up, it'll all be just fine
But it doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter
'Cause you won't let yourself be happy

Here we go again, like every time before
You keep on drinking then cry yourself to sleep
Why do they even listen, they know how it always ends
Another futile night spent telling you things you'll never hear
But they'll play this game again, like every time before
But don't they wonder why...

When nothing they say can make you feel better,
Why do you keep asking?
They tell you it's alright, they tell you you're a good man
They tell you look up, it'll all be just fine
But it doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter
'Cause you won't let yourself be happy

You know this isn't right, your sanity's slipping away
Along with all your frustrated friends
You've said it enough times, you say this is the last time
But in the end you'll keep on crying

When nothing they say can make you feel better,
Why do you keep asking?
They tell you it's alright, they tell you you're a good man
They tell you look up, it'll all be just fine
But it doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter
'Cause you won't let yourself be happy
And nothing they say will make you feel better
Nothing they say will make you feel better
Nothing they say will make you feel better
Nothing they say will make you feel better
