Lyrics

This Is How It Works

I've never been too sad
So sad that I couldn't share
When you can't find the words
Guess it's time to listen
Took a lot to get me here

Staring out at the walls
Is there somebody that I can call?
Someone who knows where I am
Someone who knows how it's been

I know you can't talk long
But I'm barely hanging on
I'm so tired of telling you
It's a hard time again
It's a hard time again
Tell me something good
Pull me out from what I'm in

Take it one day at a time
I'm moving everything around
I won't get attached to the way that it was
This is how it works for me now
This is how it works for me now

I know you can't talk long
But I'm barely hanging on
And I'm so tired of saying I'm tired
It's a hard time again
It's a hard time again
Tell me a story that'll make me forget
It's a hard time again

Tell me something good
