Lyrics

Never Alright

It's never how you remember

It's never quite the truth

It's never enough to get there

It's never enough for you

It's never been what they said there

It's never been what they do

It's never enough to get there

It's never enough for you

It's never alright

It's never alright

Breaking your heart must break thеir hearts

Breaking their hеarts must break your heart

I can never see

I can never see beyond this

Beyond this, I can never see

I could never see beyond this, beyond this

Where they are

They could never be honest

Where they are

They could never be honest

[Instrumental]

No one can ever help no one

Not get their heart broken

All of this longing makes all of these days seem so long

And every day, everyone tells you

Everything you oughta be

I know that you don't believe 'em

But you take 'em so seriously

It's never alright

It's never alright
