Lyrics

Ain't Such a Bad Place to Be

Oh my god
I know, I know
I've been here
Before, before
Succumbed again
I'm jinxed again but I still

Sold your own
Be strong
The simple reason is I'm skin
And bone
Best not be scared
Just to be aware that alone

It ain't such a bad place to be because we're opposites
I know you
So don't come creeping back I'm on my feet again
I show you
Put you out like a cigarette
A metaphor not too forget
To forgive, It's positive

Oh come on
Come on
Did you think that you could pull
The wool
Over my eyes
Much to your surprise alone

It ain't such a bad place to be because we're opposites
I know you (Oh, I know you now)
So don't come creeping back I'm on my feet again
I show you (no no)
Put you out like a cigarette
A metaphor not too forget
To forgive (To forgive) It's positive

Not negative
Live and let live
I'm holding on to you
It ain't such a bad place to be
It ain't such a bad place to be

It ain't such a bad place to be because we're opposites
I know you
So don't come creeping back I'm on my feet again
I show you
It ain't such a bad place to be because we're opposites
I know you
So don't come creeping back I'm on my feet again
I show you
Put you out like a cigarette
A metaphor not too forget
To forgive, It's positive
