lyrics

Lyrics:

It never really got dark, it's just I couldn't stop cryin'
and even thinking' 'bout leaving the house and seeing anyone else was like dying
So I covered my eyes, didn't open my mouth
and filled my ears up with anything other than something I could cry about

It wasn't easy to find
'cause love had a name, and it was stuck inside my throat
I'd swallow it down, but it'd always come right back up
floating on a memory, and I'd start to choke
Seems like the best of me has become some long old drawn-out joke
and I've forgotten the punchline
Guess I just need a little more time

It never really got dark. No, I could always see the lining
It's just that anytime I thought about looking for love, it didn't seem worth finding
But I can swallow my pride; let my intellect win
I know that some kind of love is all that I really need, but not where to begin

I started feeling' unkind
'cause love had a name, and it was stuck inside my throat
I'd swallow it down, but it'd always come right back up
floating on a memory, and I'd start to choke
Seems like the best of me has become some long old drawn-out joke
and I've forgotten the punchline
I'm gonna be just fine

Cause when things change, it never feels like they change for the better
and I should know better than to believe in those feelings
though they're strong, they're always wong
It's like I've been trained not to remember each time I've said, 'forever,'
it's always been better the next time forever came along
I got to move on

It never really got dark.
