Tragedy+Time
On the edges of the sharpest knives, in the middle of the darkest nightsAlways knew that I would find you here, in the puddle of the bravest tearsI've seen enough to know it's lonely where you are
Above the crowd, feet dangling from a rooftop [A rooftop]she waits from ledges for a voice to talk her down
And nothing matters but the pain when you're aloneThe never-ending nights when you're awakeWhen you're praying that tomorrow it's okayThere will be a time to crack another smileMaybe not today or for a whileBut we're holding on to laugh again somedayTo laugh again someday
All that matters is the time we had, doesn't matter how it all went badNever wonder what it might be like, shut the door, say goodbyeWhen faced with tragedy we come alive or come undone
So don't look back, let it shape you like an oceanEven the deepest scars in time will fade
And nothing matters but the pain when you're aloneThe never-ending nights when you're awakeWhen you're praying that tomorrow it's okayThere will be a time to crack another smileMaybe not today or for a whileBut we're holding on to laugh again somedayYeah we're holding on to laugh again someday
And sometimes you have to go back to know just where you have beenBut we're old enough to know that what has been will be again and again
And the bravest of faces are the ones where we fake itin the roles that we play
Nothing matters when the pain is all but goneWhen you are finally awakeDespite the overwhelming odds, tomorrow cameAnd when they see you crack a smileand you decide to stay a whileYou'll be ready then to laugh again
Nothing matters but the pain [We are tragedy, yeah we are sympathy]Nothing matters but the pain [You see what you want to see]Nothing matters but the pain [We are misery, and distant memories]And nothing matters but the pain [But we all learn to laugh again]Yeah we all learn to laugh againOh we all learn to laugh again
