Would It Kill You

Have you ever noticed
That you’re the only one in the room
With ill words for everything
What a waste of breath and feelings
And isn’t it so obvious
When everybody tunes you out
Maybe listen when your friends say
Keep it to yourself until it goes away
Would it kill you to be happy for just one day
Doesn’t matter how bad
The songs are on the radio
Your mind’s blown, we get it
Its white noise, it’s static
But it can’t be all sad
There’s something to smile about
And maybe, you just might
Push a little further, it’ll be alright
Would it kill you to be happy for just one night
The buzzkill tone of your voice is such an awful sound
But it’s perfectly aligned with your thoughts about
How the fucked up systems failed you now
Why don’t you open up a cold one and calm down
So get your pen and paper
And your telecaster set
With the spring verb and the mid tones
Your song’s got heart but weak bones
Would it kill you to be happy and just leave the shit alone
